Last year the Friends of the Sick and the Elderly in Gozo (FSEG) delivered 6,590 meals-on-wheels to housebound elderly. It also donated two patient-transfer boards and a pulse carbon monoxide oximeter to the Gozo General Hospital. This was announced at the FSEG’s 26th annual general meeting at the Gozo Ministry exhibition hall, Victoria.
The FSEG also runs a loan service of motorised beds and hoists, wheelchairs, commodes and other equipment that help families care for bedridden elderly or chronic sick relatives in their own homes.
