The Malta Community Chest Fund is being transformed into a foundation which would also contribute to medical research, President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca said.
The President, who heads the fund, was addressing medical consultants in London.
She asked the consultants in charge of caring for Maltese patients to share suggestions on how the service could be strengthened.
President Coleiro Preca thanked the consultants for their dedication and said the Maltese appreciated their efforts for the care they were giving to be a success.
