Tributes have poured in following the announcement that Dr Victor Calvagna had passed away after being hit by car in Qawra last week.
Dr Calvagna, a renowned doctor and President of Puttinu Cares which he helped set up to look after cancer patients had been unconscious since the accident and passed away on Tuesday.
President George Vella described him as a “much-respected” doctor.
Prime Minister Robert Abela said words are not enough to describe the good Calvagna did. “Condolences to his immediate family and all the Puttinu family,” he said.
Opposition Leader Bernard Grech said, “the good you did and which will continue as a result of the legacy you leave behind will never be forgotten.”
Health Minister Chris Fearne said Malta had lost a “true hero”. “A friend and colleague. A sincere, competent and correct person. Loved by thousands of children and families. Malta has lost a true hero. Goodbye Victor.”
