First MRI Tests To Kick Off At Gozo General Hospital

Mar 12 2024

Starting today, the Gozo General Hospital is set to initiate the very first MRI tests. This pivotal step, facilitated by the recent acquisition of a state-of-the-art MRI machine, symbolizes a significant improvement in local healthcare services.

As announced by Health and Active Ageing Minister Jo Etienne Abela on February 29th, 2024, this development ushers in a new era of diagnostic capabilities for Gozitans.

With the commencement of MRI testing, approximately 3,000 residents of Gozo each year will no longer need to travel to Malta for these essential medical procedures.

This monumental shift not only enhances accessibility but also underscores the hospital’s commitment to providing comprehensive care closer to home.

This addition to the Gozo General Hospital is heralded as a crucial stride towards improving medical care and reducing the burden on patients needing diagnostic services from larger facilities.
