Day of the Sick was marked at Gozo General Hospital with Mass celebrated by Gozo Bishop Mario Grech, assisted by hospital chaplains Joe Cardona, Frankline Vella and Anthony Sultana.
After Mass the bishop donated to hospital CEO Nadine Delicata 12 wheelchairs, a paediatric wheelchair, a weighing scale and three air mattresses.
The money for the equipment, worth €5,200, was raised by all parishes of the Gozo diocese and the Conventual Franciscans of St Francis in Victoria.
