In a news conference, the Minister for Health and Active Aging Jo Etienne Abela announced a development and regeneration plan for the Gozo General Hospital.
Minister Abela explained how part of this plan will see the development of a new acute hospital. “The main objective of this plan is for Gozo to have a modern and comprehensive medical infrastructure, in order to continue to provide the highest level health care service in Gozo itself,” repeated Minister Abela.
The Minister went on to explain that the new hospital will cover around 400 beds which means that the amount of patients that the Gozo Hospital will receive will be doubled. He also announced that part of the regeneration plan will see the introduction of a new anatomy centre, a new research facility, a CDAU center and the installation of a new helipad for emergency transport to the Mater Dei Hospital.
” Thanks to this plan we will not only be improving and offering a top level health service, but we will also see a number of new quality jobs for Gozo. The Government is constantly working to ensure that the Gozo people have all the necessary health services provided in Gozo itself,” concluded Minister Jo Etienne Abela.
