Medical University of Plovdiv and University Hospital ‘St George’ (Plovdiv) has invited George Gregory Buttigieg as Visiting Professor in Obstetrics and Gynaecology as from this current academic year.  He has just returned from Bulgaria following the delivery of his first cycle of lectures to under- and post-graduate students. He also lectured on the latest medico-legal concepts related to Cerebral Palsy and CTG monitoring at the University Hospital ‘St George’ which hosts a major Cerebral Palsy referral unit.  

Buttigieg has lectured to medical students at the University of Malta since 1986 and was a founding member of the Maltese College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. He has sat on numerous committees and boards including the Malta Medical Council, the Chair of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology overseas committee for Malta and the European Boards of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.  He also serves as Court expert. 

Buttigieg has published extensively on medical and medico-legal issues as well on various facets of history and historical fiction. He is also Malta’s ambassador to the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

The position of Prof Buttigieg at Plovdiv Medical University will not interfere with his lecturing commitments in Obstetrics/Gynaecology and Advanced Forensics at the University of Malta.
