About

About the Association

MAM was founded on the 3rd of February 1954 as the Medical Officers Union, by Dr Censu Tabone. Dr Tabone became the first President, serving from 1954 to 1962.

The principal purpose of the MAM is to regulate relations between members of the profession — and to give every doctor in Malta a collective voice.
