After contacting the paediatrician by phone my daughter who lives in Swieqi needed medicine for her five-month baby and the only pharmacy open on Sunday at 6 p.m. was that at the airport.

... permits... to another two private pharmacies...- Joseph Mizzi, San Ġwann

Her husband drove to the airport and found quite a long queue waiting to buy their requirements with people coming from as far away as Mellieħa.

The pharmacy at the airport is open daily from 7.30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

It would be a good idea if the Health Minister considers giving permits with longer opening hours to another two private pharmacies that would be positioned in geographically strategic localities such as Mosta and Sliema, which together with the one at the airport will cover most of the island.

I hope my suggestion will reach the Minister of Health who has the health of the people at heart.
