Hi,
We are looking to move to Malta later this year.
However I have Crohn's disease and am currently receiving infusions that cost around £1200.00 per infusion.
I understand that if I pay into the health care service I can receive treatment over there but I also heard that some conditions means that drugs/meds are free.
Does anyone have any info on this or give me details of where I can get information.
Thanking you in advance.

Your UK card will count for nothing here. Read the Advice in that article.
