November 2023 – Student Nurse Life

The Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Malta, in collaboration with the WHO Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance, is delighted to extend an invitation to an engaging symposium focused on raising awareness about Antimicrobial Resistance. This hybrid educational event bearing the title ‘Political advocacy and closing the knowledge gaps to address antimicrobial resistance‘ seeks to shed light on the pressing issue of Antimicrobial Resistance and its profound impact on public health.

The primary goal of this symposium is to enlighten patients and the public regarding antibiotic misuse and the critical need for effective infection prevention measures. The symposium will feature insights from members of the AMR Patient Group who will share their personal experiences in dealing with resistant bacteria. Their narratives will serve to advocate for concrete actions to combat this escalating public health threat.

This Antimicrobial Resistance Symposium is going to be held on Wednesday 22nd November 2023 from 9am till 2pm CET (Malta Time). It is going to be a hybrid event – in-person at the South Auditorium, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Malta, and virtual.

Don’t you wonder what you would do if you suddenly came into possession of an unfathomable amount of money? It’s a notion that we’ve all had in one point or another but most of us tend to think of big obvious expensive things. Whilst there’s nothing wrong with wanting an easier lifestyle, here’s another perspective, beautifully written in poem form by a dear friend, Abhishek Sah Frendo…

If Lady Luck should favour me one fateful day,

With wealth beyond what words alone can truly convey,

“Not a penny for myself”, I’d firmly decree,

Generously aiding others – that is my life’s destiny.

Seeking those in need, far and wide,

With empathy and kindness, I’d stand by their side,

A Rolex or Bugatti, I’d never desire,

In helping others, my heart would catch on fire.

Champagne and luxuries, I’d gladly forgo,

You wouldn’t catch me drinking a Marilyn Monroe,

No butler, mansion, or materialistic bling for me,

Beneath the oak’s shade contended, I’d be,

No parties with celebrities, no lavish cruise,

In simpler pleasures, I’d freely choose.

My heart thrives in the genuine and true,

For my loved ones’ there’s nothing I wouldn’t do.

For the needy and suffering, my wealth would flow,

In their darkest hours, a comforting glow.

In selflessness, my spirit would soar,

Bringing hope and love, forevermore.

So, if fortune smiles, and winnings are won,

The truest riches aren’t those under the sun,

But in the love we share, our legacy’s sum,

In helping others, our souls unite as one.

Riches are but one way to forge a lasting mark,

In life’s grand symphony, let your light embark,

With wisdom’s grace, let passion take flight,

To make a difference, in the world’s endless night.
