Rebecca Zammit Lupi, a 14-year-old cancer patient, receives a gift from radiographers Maria Elena Grech and Angelina Dimitrova after what was supposed to be her final radiotherapy treatment session at Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre in Mater Dei Hospital, during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, in Tal-Qroqq, Malta, June 4, 2020. Dimitrova said "I did not expect to get so attached to Rebecca, but I think she had a talent to make people love the light in her smile and the purity of her heart. Although her body was already frail when we met, her mind was always sharp and spirit empowering and strong. Becs fought for what she believed, including making schooling available to those confined within the walls of a hospital, and I think that was a testament to her desire to learn, to grow and to give back through her talents and passion."

Although we recognise that each patient is on an earth shattering and life-altering journey, when it comes to children, it always hits a softer spot, which is why we enjoy celebrating the ends of their treatments that little bit louder and commemorating it with a small gift personal to every child."

The fact that we were able to inspire Becs even during such difficult times, made us really proud of our profession." REUTERS/Darrin Zammit Lupi SEARCH "REBECCA LUPI" FOR THIS STORY.

A newspaper displayed on a stand shows a headline of the Marburg virus outbreak in the Ugandan capital Kampala October 6, 2014. A man has died in Uganda's capital after an outbreak of Marburg, a highly infectious hemorrhagic fever similar to Ebola, authorities said on Sunday, adding that a total of 80 people who came into contact with him were quarantined. Marburg starts with a severe headache followed by haemorrhaging and leads to death in 80 percent or more of cases in about nine days. It is from the same family of viruses as Ebola, which has killed thousands in West Africa in recent months.

A radiographer takes a X-ray of a patient's chest at the Afghan German International hospital in Kabul March 9, 2014. Despite decades of conflict in Afghanistan, and several recent militant attacks, the country's capital Kabul is home to a vibrant youth scene of musicians, artists, athletes and activists. Shopping malls and cafes stand in the city, which is nonetheless beset by infrastructure problems and instability. Afghanistan is preparing for an election on April 5 that should mark the first democratic transfer of power in the country's history, but it has been hit by a tide of violence as the Islamist Taliban movement has ordered its fighters to disrupt the vote and threatened to kill anyone who participates.

The woman is said to have been aged between 30-40 years old when she died in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the Italian city of Pompeii nearly two thousand years ago. The high-tech check-up was said to be the first ever conducted on any of the victims of the eruption of Vesuvius and was made possible by an Australian archaeologist who has studied the remains of 300 people who died in the 70 A.D. eruption
