He was awarded the War Medals and, on 15 April 1992, was presented with the Malta George Cross Fifteenth Anniversary Medal. In 1946 he obtained the Diploma in Ophthalmology of the University of Oxford, United Kingdom. Later he obtained the Diploma in Ophthalmic Medicine and Surgery of the Conjoint Board of the Royal College of Physicians of London and of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.  bbSince 1947 he has been engaged in ophthalmic practice in Malta and has held senior posts in various hospitals. In 1945 he was entrusted with the antitrachoma campaign in Gozo, with the result that in due course the disease was practically eliminated from the island. This campaign was in many ways a pioneer project as were those of the World Health Organization which he helped launch in many countries, notably in Taiwan (Province of China), Indonesia and Iraq. He was elected Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1949. From 1956 he served as a member of the International Panel of Trachoma Experts of WHO and was a consultant with this organization for many years. bbIn 1954 he founded the Medical Officers Union, now the Medical Association of Malta (MAM) and for many years was its President. In 1953 he obtained a Diploma in Medical Jurisprudence of the Society of Apothecaries of London. Dr. Tabone has also been a member of the Council of the University of Malta, a member of the Faculty Board of Medicine from 1957 and lecturer in Clinical Ophthalmology in the Department of Surgery. bbDr. Tabone has been active in politics since the early 1960s and in 1961 became a member of the Nationalist Party's (NP) Executive Committee. From 1962 to 1972, he was Secretary-General and from 1972 to 1977 the first Deputy Leader of the NP. In 1978 he was elected President of the Executive Committee. He held this post up to August 1985. bbDr. Tabone contested the General Elections for the first time in the interests of the NP in 1962. In 1966 he was elected a Member of Parliament and became Minister of Labour, Employment and Welfare. He was re-elected in 1971, 1976, 1981 and 1987 and the districts he represented included Msida, St.Julians, Sliema and Gzira. He represented the Nationalist Parliamentary Group in the Council of Europe since 1973 and was Party Spokesman on Foreign Affairs since 1978. He was a member of various Council of Europe committees for several years and rapporteur of the Political Affairs Committee, of the Committee of Health and Social Affairs, and of the Committee for European Non-Member Countries of which he has also been President. He was the Founder of the "Akkademja Ghallizvilupp ta' iAmbject Demokratiku" (AZAD) and was its President from 1976 to 1988. '{,|)|)ԌbbAfter the election of May 1987, he was appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs. In 1968, when he was then Minister of Labour, Employment and Welfare, he made a proposal at the United Nations in New York for greater attention to the ageing population of the world which in time led to the Vienna Action Plan on Ageing, and in 1988 the establishment of the UnitedNations Institute of Ageing in Malta. In September 1988 he made a proposal in the United Nations in New York that climate should be considered as a common heritage of mankind. Within three months this led to the drafting of a United Nations resolution on Climate Change and on action to be taken to reduce manmade actions which are at the root of such a change. bbOn 16 March 1989, Dr. Tabone tendered his resignation as Minister for Foreign Affairs and as a member of the House of Representatives; and on 4April of the same year he was elected by Parliament as the fourth President of Malta. On 4 April 1994 his term as President of Malta ended. bbFrom 15 April 1995 >>)Visiting Professor in International Affairs, University of Malta#> Decorations and awards bb1989  Awarded testimonial by the SecretaryGeneral of the UnitedNations in recognition of his dedicated service in support of the United Programme on Ageing # bb1989n 7 Degree of Doctor of Laws LL.D (Hons.
