The Pharmacy of Your Choice one-stop shop services will now be available from Mater Dei Hospital, the Health Ministry announced.

The service will start on 22 August, and will meet the requirements of patients who have just been discharged from the hospital as well as from the oncology centre, and patients needing out-patients services.

Health Minister Chris Fearne said that this initiative will mean fewer problems for the patients, who now no longer need to go to Guardamangia to get their medicine.
