Malta has excellent healthcare in both the public and private hospitals that operate on the island. Most travellers to Malta do not normally require immunisation or vaccination certificates to enter Malta. Travellers from europe should carry their European Health Insurance card and it is also advisiable to have a personal medical insurance.
Visitors from the United Kingdom and Australia can avail of free medical care in hospitals in Malta as Malta has a recipricol health agreement with both these countries.
Pharmacies can also be found throughout Malta and are open during normal shopping hours and on a roster basis on Sunday's from 09:00 - 12:30.
Tap water in Malta is safe to drink but is not particularly palatable. Bottled water is available almost anywhere in Malta at a reasonable cost.
