History

The MHSA was the brainchild of two students from the Faculty of Health Sciences, Christian Ellul and Clinton Schembri Francalanza back in 2009. The need for a single association to represent all the students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences had been felt for quite some time. The Faculty and former Institute was only one of the few within the University of Malta not to have a student representing body. Now with 10 departments, the Faculty of Health Sciences is one of the larger faculties of the University of Malta, hence the need for an association was further highlighted. Currently the faculty has over 1000 registered students. For over ten years, MHSA has been an active and dynamic association. With an executive board made up of 12 faculty students from different courses, proper representation of the Faculty’s students is ensured.
