Noel Borg, senior nursing manager of the CareMalta Group and non-executive director of Hila Homes, was a guest speaker at a webinar organised by the Malta Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (MAGG) last Wednesday.
Entitled ‘COVID-19 and Older Persons in Malta: An Unexpected Journey’, the webinar addressed health and social work professionals, volunteers working with older persons, policymakers, as well as the general public. The aim of the webinar was to provide an insight into the lives of older persons in long-term care residences, as well as to create awareness on the plight and challenges faced by older persons living in the community during the pandemic. It also highlighted the support and actions by formal and informal caregivers.
