Six documentaries to be filmed at Mater Dei Hospital
Government is set to produce a series of six half-hour documentaries on Mater Dei hospital and the services it offers.
Sunday newspaper Illum reports how government intends to produce six documentaries about Mater Dei hospital, in a bid to counteract the criticism that the hospital has been receiving.
In a letter sent to the companies that won contracts at the hospital, Mater Dei’s CEO Joseph Caruana encourages them to donate money and sponsor the documentaries.
“The cost of documentaries (c. €36,000) will be borne entirely by public/private funding and it is earnestly hoped that major hospital suppliers will be forthcoming with their sponsorships,” Caruana writes in the letter.
Caruana writes that the aim of the documentaries is to “raise awareness of the services offered at Mater Dei Hospital, explaining certain procedures & putting right many misconceptions.”
