Health

Malta has an excellent health service.  Hospitals are modern and supported by a regional network of health centres.  Travellers do not normally require certificates of vaccination or insulation to enter the Maltese Islands.  It is advisable to take out a personal medical insurance policy.  Malta has reciprocal health agreements with Australia and the United Kingdom.  Nationals of these countries, visiting the Islands for no longer than one month, are entitled to free medical and hospital care in both Malta and Gozo.

Visitors receiving special medical treatment should bring a medical prescription or a letter of introduction from their family doctor, in case they need to purchase particular medicines.  Tap water is safe to drink.
