During her first meeting with Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, Queen Elizabeth was briefed by the Prime Minister on the medical school in Gozo, a project of Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry.

Muscat, together with Health Minister Konrad Mizzi and the Dean of Barts, Professor Anthony Warrens, presented an overview of the new developments in the health sector at Gozo Hospital and St Luke’s Hospital, with a special focus on the education aspect through the setting up of the new medical school.
