Active Ageing and Community Care is now providing phlebotomy services in all the localities across Gozo and Malta.

The new service means that elderly and persons with disability suffering from mobility problems can get their blood drawn for tests by professionals free of charge in their own private residences.

Parliamentary Secretary for Active Ageing and Persons with Disability Silvio Parnis said that this service is targeted at the elderly and persons with disability living in the community and, as a result of difficulties with mobility, they are not able to leave their homes and go to hospitals or health centres for this service.

He said that due to such constraints, many of these people are ending up paying for such a service.

Chief Executive Officer of Active Ageing and Community Care, Dr Renzo De Gabriele, presented awards to nine nurses for successfully completing the phlebotomy course. These nurses are;

Bernardette Caruana

Rania Tajuri

Samantha Cervellera

Premjith Preman

Katalin Mikovic

Yana Permina

Noelene Vella

Louise Purton

Ann Cremona
