Gozo General Hospital s emergency and outpatients departments have been upgraded and refurbished, Steward Health Care said on Friday.
Facilities, equipment and consultation rooms have all been upgraded and the number of clinics has also been increased, allowing for additional services to be provided and improving waiting times, the hospital operator said.
Hospital outpatient services, which were offered from the nearby Barts Medical School campus while refurbishing was under way, will now once again be offered from the hospital itself, Steward Health Care Malta executive director and president Nadine Delicata said.
The refurbishing work complements other upgrades which the hospital operator has announced in recent months.
Medical students slammed the Health Ministry for failing to safeguard the quality of medical education in Malta , after mediation talks over Barts medical students stalled.
The talks kicked off following the ministry s refusal to fully disclose the conditions for Barts Medical School students at Mater Dei Hospital as requested by the Malta Medical Students Association (MMSA) and the University of Malta students’ council (KSU). The health ministry is maintaining that it can only be an honest broker between the University of Malta and Barts when in reality they are not just the broker but the regulator, KSU president Matthew Xuereb told
