BOV Explores New Collaboration Opportunities to Sustain and Expand Essential Palliative Services

Bank of Valletta (BOV) has reaffirmed its steadfast commitment to supporting the local community through a recent visit to Hospice Malta by members of its leadership team. The delegation, which included Chairperson Dr Gordon Cordina, CEO Kenneth Farrugia, Chief Operations Officer Ernest Agius, and Antoinette Caruana on behalf of the BOV Foundation, toured the St. Michael Hospice complex to gain further insight into the organisation’s holistic palliative care services.

The visit underscored BOV’s long-standing support for Hospice Malta, whose mission is to provide free palliative care to patients with life-limiting illnesses, offering essential physical, psychological, and emotional support to both patients and their families. During the visit, the Hospice Malta team offered a tour of the state-of-the-art complex and shared their future vision and current needs in delivering specialised care with compassion and dignity.

“Our commitment to Hospice Malta is a reflection of our values as a community bank,” said Dr Gordon Cordina. “The care and compassion shown here is a powerful reminder of the importance of supporting the most vulnerable among us.”  BOV CEO, Kenneth Farrugia added, “As an organisation with deep roots running across our community, we believe in making a positive impact beyond financial services. Hospice Malta’s work touches the lives of many, and we are honoured to continue contributing to this essential service.”

Speaking on behalf of the BOV Foundation, Ernest Agius stated, “Supporting Hospice Malta goes hand in hand with our responsibility to create a positive social impact. Beyond financial support, the Bank, through the BOV Foundation, is keen to explore opportunities for collaboration, such as volunteering initiatives and awareness campaigns, to ensure that this exceptional service continues to thrive.”

The visit also served as a platform to explore new avenues for cooperation, reinforcing BOV’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its relationship with Hospice Malta through both financial and non-financial means.

As one of Malta’s leading community-driven institutions, Bank of Valletta remains dedicated to promoting care, and well-being across the Maltese Islands, building strong partnerships with organisations that make a real difference in people’s lives.
