We are soon to be moving to Malta (from the US), and curious how others have gone about having prescriptions for medications handled. Thanks community in advance for any advice/tips you may have

For a medication related to a chronic condition you don’t need a prescription sheet issued by your GP each time you want to buy it.

Just show a photo of the original prescription.

Sometimes some medications can run out of stock, so it is better if you don’t wait until the last day to get the next box.

Even if you are entitled to NI (state health insurance) by being employed, only medications for chronic conditions are covered.

You will need your GP to fill out some form and send it to the NI services.
