A health career fair to attract students to healthcare services was held at Sir Arturo Mercieca primary school, Gozo. Students, who, together with their parents, attended the fair in great numbers, had the opportunity to discuss health services directly with people representing 23 professions.
As a result of an increase in the population and the fact that people are enjoying a longer life, the demand for health services is constantly increasing. There are currently about 1,000 vacancies in various professions.
