Pleased to be invited from ESGENA to speak at ESGE Days in Berlin. Together with my colleague Practice Nurse Joseph Garzia, I spoke about safety of the patient during complex endoscopy operations.

ESGE Days is the largest congress of its kind in Europe, with 4000 participants🙌

The Departments of Cardiology and Diabetes at Mater Dei Hospital were declared ‘Centres of excellence.’

We are proud of the advances being done in these fields. 🙌

Tomorrow let’s all help Puttinu. ❤️

Puttinu Cares

Inaugurated the modernization of the Qormi Health Centre with an investment of €2.8 million.

Through the renovation that has been carried out, no less than 23 services of the highest level will now be offered to the people who live in Qormi as well as in the surrounding area.

Around 3,000 persons residing in Gozo will now be able to undergo MRI tests in Gozo itself.

Thanks to this investment, another electoral promise became a reality for all Gozitans
