Lydia Abela Announces New Women’s Health And Family Proposals
Speaking during a special Mother’s Day event, Lydia Abela announced three new proposals that form part of the Labour Party’s electoral vision ahead of the upcoming general election.
Among the proposals is the introduction of free breast screening for women aged 45 and over, with the initiative aimed at strengthening early detection efforts while also helping break the stigma surrounding breast health and cancer screening.
Abela also unveiled plans for a nationwide educational campaign tackling stereotypes related to parenting and family life. The campaign would focus on promoting the idea that raising children and caring for a family should be a shared responsibility between both parents.
Another key proposal announced was Malta’s first-ever strategy focused specifically on women’s health. The strategy aims to place women at the centre of healthcare policy while increasing awareness and education around the health challenges women face throughout different stages of life.
The proposals were presented as part of a broader discussion centred around families, motherhood and wellbeing during the Mother’s Day activity.
