A second set of wool blankets, which were handmade by the Munxar community in Gozo, have been donated to Hospice Malta whose primary role, originally centred around providing and promoting palliative care for persons suffering from end-of-life cancer and motor neuron disease.
Throughout the years, as the awareness and the need for palliative care increased, Hospice Malta included other conditions within its mission statement so that presently, community-based services are also offered to patients suffering from end-of-life cardiac, respiratory, renal, liver diseases and most recently, Creutzfeldt Jacob disease and multiple sclerosis.
The HSBC Malta Foundation said that it is supporting the Munxar community to produce more of these blankets to be donated to a number of NGOs over the coming months.
