At Palermo airport, the man was assisted by 118 personnel and then transferred to Villa Sofia hospital. Taken care of by doctors in the coronary intensive care unit, the man underwent surgery. His post-operative health conditions are defined as good. After a few days of observation, he will be able to return to Malta.
