The President of Malta and Mrs Vella paid an official visit to Mater Dei hospital on Monday. They were greeted by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Health Chris Fearne, who showed appreciation at the latter’s visit. 

The President stressed the necessity of maintaining an adequate blood reserve, more so in the wake of a series of unfortunate traffic accidents. 

He continued by affirming his full support to patients who require acute care. These will continue to find support through MCCFF and Puttinu, he maintained. 

This visit, which was well received by staff and patients alike, was intended to convey substance to the President’s inaugural speech, and to show respect to the hospital’s patients. 

President Vella concluded by thanking hospital staff for their dedication and promptness in tending to all patients, as well as all local and foreign employees who chose to practice their profession at Mater Dei hospital.
