Health care

Health facilities are generally of a good standard and the emergency departments of all hospitals are manned with English-speaking personnel, although it is advisable to seek the assistance of an interpreter for the more complex medical matters.

Emergency medical treatment, administered in the Accident and Emergency department, is free to international tourists. International travellers are, however, advised to take out full medical insurance before departure. No health agreement currently exists with the UK.

Food & drink

Milk is pasteurised and tap water is generally quite safe to drink. Powdered and tinned milk are also available. Only eat well-cooked meat and fish, preferably served hot, pork, salad and mayonnaise may carry increased risk. Vegetables should be cooked and the fruit peeled.
