Get involved in non-governmental organisations which seek to catalyse collective care of patients and their families, Prof. Yves Muscat Baron urged graduates yesterday.

Prof. Muscat Baron himself helped found three NGOs, including Sands Malta (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society) which, he said, stood out as a beacon of hope to mothers and fathers who had lost babies before or shortly after birth.

“If the needle of our compass points towards untainted integrity, aiming firmly in the direction of unwavering patient care, you’ll be amazed what influence we have to improve the lot of our patients,” he said.

Administrators and politicians also needed a compass in their profession, and that compass, with serene but steadfast persistence, could be directed steadily towards patients’ needs.
