It was explained how after consultation between Speaker Anġlu Farrugia and Minister Jo Etienne Abela, it was decided that the best use for this vehicle would be to offer assistance to those in need.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives expressed his sense of gratitude and solidarity while presenting a vehicle that will be used to serve patients who require special care and transport. He said that this gesture represents the desire to place authority at the service of humanity. “I feel truly honoured to be participating in this moment of service and solidarity. This is not just a presentation of a vehicle, but a gesture of love towards humanity and towards the common good”, concluded Speaker Anġlu Farrugia.
The Opposition Spokesperson for Health, Stephen Spiteri, said that this initiative will concretely help dialysis patients, and reiterated the importance of these people being given every possible assistance to facilitate their journey to regular care.
Minister for Health and Active Ageing Jo Etienne Abela said that the donation of this vehicle is a beautiful gesture that will be helping hundreds of patients facilitate their journey to and from Mater Dei Hospital for their treatment. “I thank the donor for this noble gesture and Speaker Anġlu Farrugia who put forward this idea and together we saw the good that can be done in favor of the patient,” concluded Dr Abela.
