Dealing With a problem that affects our well being

From Ms J. Micallef

I wish to congratulate Marisa Micallef for finally breaking the silence and the taboo that goes with African migration and infectious diseases.

Many have, in the recent past, tried to touch upon this problem. Many were destructively criticised and labelled as racists for their pains. I now hope that the respective authorities and other responsible people will finally take note and address this serious problem for the sake of our well being.

This is not the kind of problem our country can afford to neglect. If it does, then I am afraid that we will face a major health crisis in the near future.

Joanne Micallef
