A new air ambulance service has been set up in Xewkija Gozo.
Health Minister Chris Fearne and the Minister for Gozo Anton Refalo were at the inauguration of the new dedicated service.
Emergency air services have until now been provided by the Armed Forces of Malta.
This new service will provide valuable support to the new Gozo Hospital which is undergoing an upgrade that will include the Barts Medical School with a 200 million euro investment.
