At the end of October 2025, the Grand Hospitaller, Dr. Josef Blotz, visited the Swiss Association of the Order of Malta on the occasion of the 20th Zurich Charity in favour of the Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem. This event has already raised 2.8 million Swiss francs for the hospital over the past 19 years. At this year\u2019s charity event, the contributions from the 140 invited guests raised around 120,000 Swiss francs. It is hoped that the remaining proceeds will bring the total amount raised to date to around three million. The Grand Hospitaller, Chairman of the International Supervisory Board of the Holy Family Hospital, and Ambassador Mich\u00e8le Bowe, President of the Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem Foundation, who was also present, expressed their gratitude for this renewed generous support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josef Blotz had the opportunity to visit the Johanniter-Malteser Foundation Aide&Assistance at its warehouse near Zurich. For many years, both sister orders have been working together to collect and send extensive aid deliveries to recipients in Ukraine, Chile, Senegal and many other countries. This time a total of 22 hospital beds, 13 nursing beds, 35 mattresses, 29 bedside cabinets, 46 laundry trolleys, 19 tables and 48 chairs were delivered to Hospital No.8 in Kyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The transport was also carried out in cooperation with \u2018Ukraine Help Berlin\u2019, with whom our Aide&Assistance Foundation has maintained a successful partnership for two years. Meanwhile, the truck has already left Switzerland and is on its way to Ukraine.The visit ended with a working lunch with the Board of the Swiss association and our president, Martin Graf von Walterskirchen zu Wolfsthal, as well as with a briefing on the numerous activities of the Swiss Hospitaller Service (SHOMS) by commander, Christophe Beaud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
