The Malta Chamber of Pharmacists and the Pharmaceutical Division of the GRTU, Chamber of Small and Medium Enterprises, expressed satisfaction that the Minister of Finance had in the Budget speech consolidated the government's commitment to the further roll-out of the Pharmacy of Your Choice scheme, to serve 50,000 new patients in the near future.
This statement is a further seal of success that endorses the tripartite vision for primary health care through the provision of personalised pharmaceutical care services by community pharmacists to benefit registered patients, the chamber said.
“This is a further step towards the full attainment of the objective where Malta should rank positively with the other EU member states in equitable access to community pharmacists’ services to patients including the medicines they need.”
