The St. Luke`s Hospital Gazette : volume 5 issue 1

Abstract

A strong scholarly desire sets off the editorial of this issue, the “Pursuit of Knowledge”, underlining from the outset the need to continue learning, keeping up to date with medical knowledge which probes deeper. The importance to engage in pure research and to be aware of research literature is crucial. One focal point is “knowledge “, which implies a twofold function; discovering it and makes it visible and better known. Essentially, this is also the objective of this periodical, and the aim of every member of the learned profession of medicine. The editorial further applauds the medical school library -which is not only well supplied with periodicals and books, but also being in considerable use. The “Medical news” section dedicates the introductory part to Professor J. Mangion who just retired from his post of Senior Dental Surgeon and Professor of Dental Surgery, attributing duly words of praise. Furthermore, the section presents updates with regards to new achievements as attained by Maltese physicians locally and overseas. A scientific “Publications List” of the Maltese Medical School graduates is also presented.
