Learning healthy habits through play! This summer, our team visited Skola Sajf centres across Malta and Gozo to inspire children to adopt healthy behaviours from an early age.

Through fun, interactive games, active play, and hands-on health education, we encouraged children to stay active, make healthier choices, and develop lifelong habits that contribute to their overall health and wellbeing.

Technology is everywhere. We use it at work to get things done, at home to stay connected, and even in our free time to relax and unwind.

But sometimes, it’s important to press pause.

You have a choice. Step away from your screen, slow down, and make space for the things that matter - whether that’s getting active, spending time with the people you love, or simply taking a moment for yourself.

Pause. Disconnect. Recharge. Find your balance.

It-teknoloġija nsibuha kullimkien. Nużawha fuq il-post tax-xogħol biex nagħmlu diversi xogħlijiet, kif ukoll id-dar biex nikkomunikaw, u anke fil-ħin liberu biex niddevertu u nistrieħu.

Iżda kultant, hu importanti li naqtgħu ftit.

Għandek għażla x'tagħmel. Ħu pass lura mill-iskrin, ikkalma ftit, u agħmel spazju għal affarijet li huma vera importanti - li ssib ħin biex iżżomm ruħek attiv, biex tqatta' ħin mal-għeżież tiegħek, jew sempliċiment biex issib mument miegħek innifsek.

Stay Alert. Stay Close. Save Lives. 💙

Children are at a higher risk of drowning - and drowning can happen quickly and silently, often without splashing or shouting.

The most important way to keep children safe around water is close, active supervision:

- Keep your child at arm’s length at all times.
- Put away your mobile phone and avoid distractions.
- Stay focused on the child rather than conversations with others.

A moment of distraction can have serious consequences. Let’s stay vigilant, stay close, and work together to prevent drowning.

Stay alert. Stay close. Save Lives.

The Director of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Dr Paula Vassallo, met with Hakaroa Vallée, who has been living with type 1 diabetes since 2016.

This summer, Hakaroa is taking on an incredible challenge: running 27 km in each of the 27 EU capitals — one capital every day, with no days off.

Through this remarkable journey, he is raising awareness about type 1 diabetes while highlighting the importance of wellbeing and physical activity.

We wish Hakaroa the very best as he takes on this inspiring challenge across Europe! 🇪🇺🏃‍♂️💙
