## TL;DR

Malta's oncology centre, in Msida, where cancer treatment and radiotherapy are given. The European Union has funded a radiotherapy machine guided by magnetic resonance imaging there.

## Summary

The Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre is named after Sir Anthony Mamo, the first president of Malta. Wikipedia's article on Mater Dei Hospital says it cost 52 million euros, and that beds rose from 78 at Boffa Hospital to 113 and outpatient clinics from two to 12 when services moved to it. The European Commission's Recovery and Resilience Facility page describes an investment of 9.4 million euros (reference C4-I2 in Malta's plan) to acquire a magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MR-Linac) at the centre, which the page said would be fully operational by mid-2024; OnCo has not read a source confirming that it is. IAEA's DIRAC database lists one radiotherapy centre in Malta, with three high-energy external beam machines (data updated 2024); DIRAC does not name it in its public summary. The Ministry of Health's own pages (health.gov.mt) were blocked to scripts. The coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for the building.
