# Two Mental Health Medications to Be Provided Free of Charge

## In brief

- More than 5,300 patients will benefit from two newly approved mental health medications.
- The treatments are set to be provided completely free of charge under state healthcare.
- The measure expands the government formulary to improve access to psychiatric therapies.

More than 5,300 patients across Malta and Gozo will gain access to two new mental health medications following an expansion of the public healthcare formulary.

Authorities confirmed that the newly introduced treatments will be made available free of charge to eligible individuals receiving psychiatric support.

The measure aims to ease the ongoing financial burden on individuals and families who rely on regular prescriptions to manage their conditions.

By integrating these therapies into the state medical service, the healthcare system seeks to ensure equitable access to modern psychiatric treatments.

The initiative forms part of ongoing public health efforts to strengthen outpatient support and broaden resources for mental wellbeing.

Patients eligible for the medications are expected to access them through standard government dispensary procedures and public pharmacy channels.

## The Spin Room
