During a visit to Maltese patients in London, Prime Minister Robert Abela announced that 10 cancer medicines which are presently funded by the Malta Community Chest Fund will soon be added to the government’s official formulary.

The move is part of a wider plan for the government to take full responsibility for funding cancer treatments, easing the financial burden on patients.

The delegation visited the Royal Marsden Hospital as well as Puttinu’s apartments in Sutton and the new property in central London which is being converted into more accommodation for patients and their families. The visit ended at the Maltese Franciscan nuns’ convent which hosts families of patients receiving treatment.

Abela was joined by his wife Lydia, Health Minister Jo Etienne Abela and Puttinu representatives Angele Cuschieri and Rennie Zerafa.
