Emanuel Attard Bezzina : editor of the first M. U. P. journal

Abstract

The Editor of 'The Pharmacist', Ms. M.A. Ciappara, accompanied by the President of the Chamber of Pharmacists, Mrs. M.A. Sant Fournier recently called on Mr. E. Attard Bezzina at his charming residence in Zejtun, after he accepted the Editorial Board's invitation to be interviewed. So whilst sitting comfortably in his cool conservatory overlooking his bougainvillae-adomed courtyard and quietly served coffee and biscuits by his gentle daughter, he reminisced about these past two decades and we must say that although we all three of us did not adhere too often to the main topic we were researching, we nonetheless obtained first hand information on a varied number of subjects from a veritable connoisseur. Mr Attard Bezzina is a pharmacist but perhaps more of a politician, of the old-school if we may add - he had made also a very good diplomat as Ambassador of our country to the Federal Republic of Germany.
