| Abstract: | About one hundred years ago, the health system in the community, in Gozo as in Malta, consisted of the District Medical Officer (DMO) who was resident in the district and was responsible for the health of the people of that district. This service was introduced by Governor Sir Richard More O’Ferrell in 1848.1 Gozo was divided into four districts. District A consisted of Victoria, Żebbuġ, Għarb, Għasri, San Lawrenz, Kerċem, and Santa Luċija. District B consisted of Nadur, Qala, Għajnsielem, Mġarr Harbour and Comino. District C of Xewkija, Sannat and Munxar. District D of Xagħra, and Ta’ Ħammet. [Excerpt] |
