The company that manages three major hospitals in Malta has dismissed claims that it will no longer run the Gozo General Hospital from next month.
On Thursday, Nationalist MP Chris Said claimed that Steward Health Care was leaving Gozo by the end of the month, describing it as a victory for the Gozitans and the PN.

Steward Malta reiterates its commitment to all three hospitals under its responsibility – Gozo General Hospital, Karin Grech Hospital and St Luke’s Hospital – for the benefit of its patients, staff and the communities that it serves.
