Pharmacies Open Today: A National Effort

In a show of solidarity and commitment to public health, the Malta Pharmaceutical Students’ Association (MPSA) has coordinated an island-wide effort to ensure that essential medical services remain accessible on this public holiday. Pharmacies across Malta and Gozo will be operating on a rotational basis, ensuring that at least one pharmacy remains open in each locality at all times.

“We understand that Easter is a time for family and celebration,” says Dr. Joseph Camilleri, President of the MPSA. “But we also understand that illness doesn’t keep bankers’ hours. That’s why we’re committed to ensuring that our community has access to the medication they need, when they need it.”
