Abstract

The pharmaceutical sector in Malta is fully regulated in line with European Union legislation. There are about 230 community pharmacies in Malta and Gozo. Each town or village can have at least two pharmacies irrespective of its size. Medicines in Malta can only be sold from the licensed community pharmacies or from the hospital pharmacies. There are two categories of patients that are entitled to free medicines provided by the state. In 2009,Government started introducing the Pharmacy of Your Choice scheme (POYC) locality by locality.
