Presentation of new Kidney Machine
03/03/1998
The President and Mrs Mifsud Bonnici, on behalf of the Malta Community Chest Fund, this morning presented a new kidney dialysis machine to Minister for Health, Dr Michael Farrugia. This machine, which cost the MCCF LM7,000, was bought to supplement the already existing service being provided at St Luke's Hospital. The addition of another machine will make the process speedier, as well as smoother in the case of breakdown or maintenance of apparatus.
In a short address, the President explained why the MCCF had taken this initiative. An original request for a machine to be bought for the Gozo General Hospital was not deemed to be recommendable due to secondary requirements associated with the purchase of this machine. It was decided, however, that the alleviation of part of the ordeal these patients have to go through was well within the competence of the fund. This is especially so considering the fact that the addition of this new machine at St Luke's would make it easier for the hospital to treat patients from Gozo with greater priority.
