This facility offers an extensive array of services, including family medicine, speech therapy, physiotherapy, podiatry, and eye screenings—marking a significant milestone for Gozo.

Minister Camilleri stressed the clinic’s importance in meeting the healthcare needs of Gozitans, especially following the recent openings in Għarb and Victoria. The clinic pledges modern facilities for patients and enhanced resources for medical professionals, embodying a broader initiative aimed at elevating healthcare infrastructure and services throughout Gozo.
