An activity for Christmas time was held for the residents of Residenza Sant’ Anna, Male Geriatric and residents at Papa Gwanni Pawlu.

The entertainment included Christmas Carol singing by a choir made up of Gozo General Hospital workers accompanied by the musicians who were also hospital staff. These included doctors, nurses, nursing aids, clerks and paramedics.

A boy’s Christmas Sermon was also recited in front of all the elderly audience.

During this activity President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca was presented with a monetary gift for the Community Chest Fund gathered from within the hospital, which amounted to €2,200.00.

The President’s speech was very touching and she showed her appreciation for the effort of the Hospital Staff and was also immensely pleased to meet the Residents themselves.

Finally a comedy/play was performed by the nurses working at Residenza Sant’ Anna. All actors, who were actually female nurses disguised themselves to play parts as male characters in this comedy.

This comedy brought endless shrieks of laughter from the audience, which echoed around the walls of the hospital hall, especially decorated for this Christmas Occasion.
