Qormi health centre was reopened on Wednesday after a €2.8 million refurbishment lasting seven months.

It has been modernised to better cater for primary healthcare services, including the installation of a new X-Ray machine, and now also has better facilities for the treatment of diabetes and mental health.

"We strongly believe that mental health services should be provided within the localities," Prime Minister Robert Abela said as he reopened the health centre.

He said that 700 people a month make use of the Qormi health centre's mental health services.

"These are the realities and challenges we are facing," he said.
