I needed to see an ophthalmologist so I phoned Mosta health centre. The operator told me that to see an ophthalmologist I have a waiting time of two years.

She had to be joking, I told her. Can one wait for two years? Is this good service? Is there any other option? Does the minister know about the long waiting time? Is there a solution?

I have been told that the ophthalmologist visits the centre once weekly in the morning. Surely this is not enough. The Mosta health centre caters for practically the whole of the north of Malta.
