New building for Puttinu patients in London officially signed off

Jun 10 2022

The official signing by Puttinu Cares for the buying of a new property for patients in London was carried out today, 10th June 2022.

President Angele Cuschieri and CEO Rennie Zerafa signed the official document to buy the property at the Maltese embassy in the UK.

The property will be refurbished and will see 23 new apartments included for the use of the patients and their families. The project is expected to cost around £20 million to be completed.

The Prime Minister’s wife Lydia Abela and High Commissioner Dr Manuel Mallia were present for the signing, with the building set to be named after Dr Victor Calvagna. Calvagna founded Puttinu Cares alongside Rennie Zerafa in 2002.

Before the founding of Puttinu Cares, patients were left to their own devices to find and pay for apartments to stay abroad for cure. Puttinu, with the help of the Maltese people’s generosity, bought residences to provide those suffering a place to stay.

Puttinu Cares has 2 buildings in Sutton, which include around 20 apartments. Due to the number of patients who go up to London for cure, the demand for more spaces also increased.

The work done by Puttinu Cares is a testament to the Maltese’s drive to help those who are suffering. Puttinu takes up part of the burden faced by many patients and their families as they undergo their battle against cancer.
