Gozitan chemotherapy patients today started making use of the Chemotherapy Lounge in Gozo, preventing them from having to travel to Malta for the service.
The government said in a statement this was the implementation of another Labour promise in its electoral manifesto.
This was also part of the Gozo General Hospital reform, being carried out with the aim of increasing the services provided in Gozo.
Health Minister Godfrey Farrugia thanked the hospital’s administration, the medical team and all involved for the service to start being given in Gozo, as had been announced last year.
