The hyperbaric unit in Gozo started being used again on May 1 after a stoppage of six months, the Health Ministry said yesterday.

Health Minister Godfrey Farrugia visited the unit yesterday. Since its reopening, the hyperbaric unit has treated four emergency call outs for divers and 40 oxygen therapy sessions.

The Ministry for Health was planning to train another two doctors in hyperbaric medicine at the hospital, Dr Farrugia said.
