Where And How Malta First Aid Started
Malta First Aid, a premier provider of first aid courses and event medical response services, traces its origins to a family-driven commitment to healthcare. Founded by Mr. Gesmond Micallef, a seasoned professional with over 37 years of experience in the medical field both in Malta and abroad, the organisation embodies a passion for emergency medical response.
The roots of Malta First Aid are deeply embedded in Mr. Micallef's extensive expertise, particularly in the realm of life-saving interventions. The organisation began with a vision to impart essential first aid skills to individuals and communities, fostering a safer environment. Today, Malta First Aid stands as a testament to that dedication — offering comprehensive courses at all levels and delivering event medical response services. As a family-run entity, it combines professional knowledge with a personal touch, ensuring the highest standards of healthcare training and emergency services.
