Mater Dei Hospital has issued a fraud alert.

Professor Raymond Galea, Head of  the Malta Postgraduate Medical Training Program and Ivan Falzon, Chief Executive Officer at Mater Dei Hospital, issued a statement on Facebook, about fraudulant letters.

"It has been brought to our attention that third parties are being targeted with letters offering them an opportunity at the Malta Foundation School in Mater Dei Hospital. These letters are asking recipients to pay in advance for this training/courses. Mater Dei Hospital and The Malta Foundation School dissociate themselves from the contents of such letters."

"The matter has been reported to the competent authorities for further investigation and possible criminal action. We urge everyone receiving such letters to verify their authenticity prior to disbursing any funds or incurring ancillary costs to pursue what is maliciously being offered."
