Blanche Huber

Blanche Huber (c. 1900 – 1940) was the first woman in Malta to train as a doctor. She graduated as a doctor from the University of Malta in 1925, having entered it in 1919. However, Huber never worked as a doctor, instead she always practiced as a pharmacist in Żejtun.

Life Blanche Huber was born in Birkirkara to Hon Joseph Huber, and she later married Dr. Joseph Caruana, a fellow medical professional. Huber chose to enrol in the longer medicine course, and Camilleri, a literature student, graduated ahead of her in 1922.
