Plans for a new children’s and maternity hospital have been completed, Health Parliamentary Secretary Chris Fearne said yesterday.

The hospital includes 180 beds, four operation theatres and an intensive therapy unit for infants. He was speaking during the inauguration of a new outdoor play area at Mater Dei’s Disneyland Ward.

The play area was made possible thanks to the initiative of Nathan Farrugia, who ran a marathon every day in each of the other 27 EU Member States in the ‘27 Challenge for Charity’.
