During his address, the Minister for Health, Mr Jean-Paul Adam, congratulated all health professionals for their noble contribution to the country and highlighted that the Long Service Awards Ceremony that coincides with World Health Day is not only to commend long serving staff, but also to recognise the critical role that they play in our society and celebrate them as true heroes of the health sector.
