Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>Seychelles and Malta have agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) as early as possible to pave the way for closer collaboration in digital health and health workforce training and exchange.<\/b><\/p>\n

Health Minister Peggy Vidot and deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister of Malta, Christopher Fearne, agreed to the principles of that MoU in Valletta, capital of Malta, on Friday last week on the sidelines of the Malta Med-Tech Conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt times, we have more commonalities with the small states of Europe than we do with the small states of our region,\u201d said Minister Vidot as she underscored Seychelles’s efforts to modernise its health system by moving slowly but surely from a paper-based to a digital system.<\/p>\n

Principal secretary, Dr Bernard Valentin, and chief executive of the Health Care Agency, Dr Danny Louange, were also in Malta with the minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MoU will provide a robust framework for collaboration between our two countries and will most definitely strengthen our health system,\u201d said the principal secretary.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeychelles is bigger in land area than Malta but smaller in population size. We have a lot to learn from their rich history and vast experience in health,\u201d he further stated.<\/p>\n

The Seychelles delegation also visited the 1500-bed Mater Dei Hospital of Malta which serves more than half a million Maltese.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is amazing how the challenges faced by that hospital in delivering free health care at the point of use are similar to those faced by the Seychelles Hospital,\u201d said Dr Louange.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking together will bring immense benefits to both sides,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Also present at the Malta meeting were health ministers of Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada and Montenegro and a senior health official from Belize.<\/p>\n
