An ultrasound machine, a defibrillator and two infusion pumps were this morning donated to the NGO animal clinic Happy Paws in Marsa by Saint James Hospital.

The equipment is no longer used at St James but is still in working order. It will now be used in the treatment of animals.

Saint James Hospital marketing manager Frederick Attard told a news conference that the idea to donate the equipment to Happy Paws originated a few weeks ago following a call from one of the hospital employees whose daughter was a volunteer with the clinic.

The idea was to donate equipment that was still functioning but that was being decommissioned to Happy Paws.

Happy Paws clinic manager Maike Beekman thanked Saint James Hospital for the donation and said the equipment would be put in use right away.

The news conference was also attended by animal welfare director Mario Spiteri.
