THE PRIME MINISTER

The Prime Minister, Dr Eddie Fenech Adami, today underwent a surgical intervention at St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, Minnesota. The surgery, which involved laparoscopic resection of a benign small intestinal stricture, was performed by Dr. Michael Sarr and lasted just under two hours.

Both procedure and recovery were uneventful and the medical team involved are very pleased with the outcome.

Dr Fenech Adami is expected to spend the next few days at the St. Francis Wing of St. Mary's Hospital.

The Prime Minister and Mrs Fenech Adami would like to thank all those who called the Office of the Prime Minister to convey their best wish es.
