Patients living in the Mosta catchment area who are entitled to free medicines have been given until the end of the month to register for the Pharmacy Of Your Choice Scheme, the Health Division said.

Originally the closing date was tomorrow but the division said it was being extended because of the "big response" from the public.

Patients who pick up their medicines from the health centres or community pharmacies in Mosta, Bugibba, Gharghur, Mellieha, Mgarr, Naxxar, Qawra and St Paul's Bay should register with the scheme.

A registration form can be collected from the Mosta health centre or pharmacies in these localities. To register, patients have to present their identity card, the official list of their illness/es and the medicine entitlement document.
