Her Worship the Mayor, Ms Carmen Gomez GMD, hosted a breakfast reception on Friday 1st November to launch the start of the Prostate Cancer Awareness month. 

In her speech, Her Worship described the yearly campaigns as a tremendous success. She said: “By fundraising, you have afforded the GHA with specific equipment worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, to help in diagnosis. This is thanks to you all and your hard work and effort at the annual awareness campaigns, and throughout the year. As Mayor of Gibraltar, I would like to express the gratitude of our community for what you do and have helped to achieve.” 

Newly appointed Chairman, Mr Joe Holliday, followed with a few words of thanks. He explained the recent equipment supplied to the GHA stating that this had ‘saved lives’. 

After 13 years with the Charity, Mr Derek Ghio took the decision to step down and was presented with a gift of gratitude by the Minister for Health & Care Gemma Arias-Vasquez on behalf of the Committee.
