The Pharmacy of Your Choice scheme will soon be extended to another six localities, Paola, Fgura, Vittoriosa, Cospicua, Senglea and Kalkara, bringing the total of number to 119.

Patients who have government-approved cards entitling them to free medicines, those entitled to diabetes medicines and those who collect medicines from the Paola and Cospicua health centres should present the necessary and validated documents to benefit from the scheme.

The registration date would be announced later on, the ministry said. Last year, about €7.2 million in free medicines were distributed through 98 pharmacies within the Pharmacy Of Your Choice scheme.

The plan is for the scheme to cover the whole of Malta and Gozo by next year.
