Upon their arrival in the United Kingdom, the President of Malta George Vella and Mrs Miriam Vella visited the Puttinu Cares Foundation project in London.
This property, a ten minutes’ walk away from the hospitals in central London, will be comprised of more than twenty apartments for patients and their relatives visiting London hospitals for treatment, particularly Great Ormond Street Hospital, Moorfields Eye Hospital, the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, and others.
The developers explained to the President and Mrs Vella that the Puttinu Cares Foundation applied for an additional floor with the aim of increasing the number of apartments for the Maltese and Gozitan patients visiting London for treatment.
President George Vella stated that he is impressed by the location of the building, its size, and the potential of this project. “This will be ideal, it is centrally located so that patients will not have to travel a long way to go to Sutton, but they can arrive at the hospitals in a few minutes. I am extremely satisfied to see where the money raised has been invested. This is something that is worth its weight in gold and that will be surely valuable in the future”, said the President, while thanking the President of the Foundation, Angele Cuschieri, and the Foundation’s CEO, Rennie Zerafa, for their work on this project.
When visiting this project, the President and Mrs Vella were accompanied by the High Commissioner of Malta in the United Kingdom, Emmanuel Mallia.
This property was named after Dr Victor Calvagna, one of the founders of the Puttinu Cares Foundation.
