Minister for Health and Active Ageing, Jo Etienne Abela, has unveiled a cutting-edge mammography machine at Gozo General Hospital, aimed at providing thousands of Gozitan patients with accessible, high-quality breast care locally.
Minister Abela highlighted that this advanced equipment positions Gozo General Hospital at the forefront of mammography technology in Malta.
He noted that this development is part of the government’s broader strategy to modernise radiological services, with the installation of the Hologic mammography system enabling the swift and early detection of breast cancer.
The new machine offers outstanding image quality and improved patient comfort. Using Clarity HD technology, the Hologic 3D mammography system delivers high-resolution breast imaging in just 3.7 seconds, ensuring precise and reliable lesion diagnosis.
In addition to mammography, the hospital will provide biopsy services using ultrasound and radiography, delivering comprehensive breast care to the Gozo community.
“The government is dedicated to continuous investment in world-class healthcare services,” Minister Abela affirmed. “We are committed to ensuring that both Maltese and Gozitan patients benefit from top-quality medical care, leveraging the latest advancements in technology and treatment.”
