The St. Luke`s Hospital Gazette : volume 4 issue 1

Abstract

The main focus of the editorial entitled ‘After the meeting’ is placed on the 12th Annual Clinical Meeting of the British Medical Association held in Malta between the 9th and 12th April, outlining the interesting scientific sessions. Reference is also made to the successful social events, whereby the Gozo excursions were amongst the most successful of the events. The inaugural meeting and the banquet were honoured by the presence of the Prime Minister Dr. George Borg Olivier and the highest authorities. In a “Tribute at a Turning Point”, a eulogy is given to Professor Alfred John Craig upon his retirement; an appreciation of his long period of service with the Medical and Health Department as Senior Surgeon in St. Luke`s Hospital Malta and with the Royal University of Malta as professor of Surgery. A short scientific “Publications List” is presented, with remarkable importance given to the Book review about “The Prevention of Complications in Dental Surgery” by H.C. Killey and L.W. Kay (1969). The “Medical news” section presents updates with regards to new achievements as attained by Maltese physicians locally and overseas. Furthermore, a list containing the titles and relative authors of the papers read at meetings held at the medical school is provided.
