ENEMALTA BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETS MINISTER FOR GOZO

The Minister for Gozo, the Hon. Giovanna Debono held an official meeting with Enemalta Board of Directors and senior officials, led by the Chairman Prof. Robert Ghirlando, at the Ministry for Gozo, yesterday morning.

A preventive maintenance programme and capital projects by Enemalta for Gozo were discussed at length. Items discussed also included the electrical distribution system for Gozo and the placing of a 33Kv cable to sustain and strengthen the provision across the island. The meeting also concentrated on the Enemalta Gozo Branch organisational setup, as well as the present situation of Gozitan workers in Malta.

After the meeting, the Chairman and Board of Directors together with the Minister for Gozo visited the Enemalta premises in Gozo and met the workers on site. Afterwards, a multi-channel analyzer machine sponsored by Enemalta was inaugurated at the Gozo General Hospital.

Thanks to this donation, new investigations, such as cholesterol, lipids and liver function tests, could be performed in Gozo, thus eliminating the need for Gozitan patients' blood samples to be sent to St. Luke's Hospital for testing.

The Minister for Gozo thanked the Enemalta Board of Directors for their full collaboration and stressed the importance of such meetings, especially since Gozo is not simply one district of many, but an island in itself.
