Local newspapers should have carried on their front pages the news broken by esteemed cardiothoracic surgeon Alex Manchè (September 8).

He made known that 88 per cent of heart transplants carried out by our heart surgeons and their team of heart specialists in Malta were successful. Translated into figures that means that 14 out of 16 patients underwent a successful heart transplant. Good news indeed from our medical profession.

Well done to the esteemed cardiothoracic surgeon for the good news and the pivotal part he played in introducing heart transplants in our hospitals.
