There are no health risks attached with travel to Malta, and
water and food is safe for consumption. A reciprocal health
agreement exists between the United Kingdom and Malta and as a
result British citizens receive emergency medical treatment on the
same terms as Maltese nationals on presentation of a European
Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Visitors should, however, take out
adequate medical and travel insurance in case medical evacuation or
further treatment is required. Travellers coming from a recognised
infected area require a yellow fever vaccination certificate.
