There are many Pharmacies across Malta and Gozo at least one Pharmacy in each village. However, certain villages, such as Birkirkara may have up to 14 Pharmacies. 

Pharmacies in Malta play an important role in the Healthcare system as they do not only provide medication but most of the pharmacies also offer the service of local doctors.

Medication prescribed by Doctors can be collected from Pharmacies presenting the prescription, and all other generic medicines do not require a prescription.

The Pharmacies which are closed on Saturday afternoons should have a notice on the door with information about which  Pharmacy is open instead.
