He stated that the government is working to continue lowering the age at which individuals receive such invitations.

“On this World Health Day, my thoughts are with those who are unwell, especially cancer patients and their loved ones. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all professionals for their dedication and the work they carry out each day, which has enabled Malta to achieve the best oncology results in Europe. We have every reason to be truly proud,” the minister concluded.
