A tender is set to be issued for the development of a new 300-bed project at St Vincent De Paul. This initiative is intended to establish an intermediate care facility, providing essential services for patients requiring care between acute hospitalisation and returning home.
This development was reported by MaltaToday, which focused on the government's announcement regarding the tender process for the new facility.
The Nationalist Party (PN) has welcomed the news of the intermediate care facility. However, the party also used the opportunity to question the government's track record on healthcare infrastructure.
In a statement reported by The Malta Independent, the PN asked about the fate of other hospitals that the Labour Party had previously promised. The party's reaction highlighted a broader concern regarding the government's long-term strategy for healthcare provision in Malta.
