The Sacred Heart Hospital, Gozo, was established in 1937 in the building previously used as the Married Quarters at Fort Chambray in Gozo. It had a complement of 27 beds. Thirteen men and two women, originally from Gozo, were transferred to this hospital from Malta in 1937. The hospital closed down in December 1956 due to lack of patients.Leprosy Archives: The Maltese Islandscompiled by C Savona-Ventura, the Grand Priory of the Maltese Islands, the Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem, Malta, 2006, p.14)
