Immunisation against hepatitis A is sometimes recommended.
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.
