A new Medical Benefits pharmacy is set to open at the Glanvilles Polyclinic on March 10, expanding access to healthcare services for residents in Antigua's eastern communities. According to Antigua News Room, the development was announced during the latest Cabinet briefing.
Officials stated that the new facility will allow residents to access prescription medications under the Medical Benefits Scheme with greater convenience, reducing the need to travel to more distant locations for their pharmaceutical needs.
The opening of the pharmacy at Glanvilles Polyclinic represents a continued effort by the government to bring essential health services closer to communities outside the capital. Eastern communities have long relied on facilities further afield for Medical Benefits-covered prescriptions.
No additional details regarding operating hours or the full range of medications to be stocked were provided in the Cabinet briefing announcement.
