MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION:
Medical care is generally good, but medical transport can take
hours to respond and ambulance attendants are prohibited from applying
lifesaving techniques during transport. Minor problems requiring a visit to
the emergency room can involve a wait of several hours; private clinics and
physicians offer speedier service. Serious medical problems requiring
hospitalization and/or medical evacuation to the United States can cost
thousands of dollars. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash
payment for health services, and U.S. medical insurance is not always valid
outside the United States. U.S. Medicare and Medicaid programs do not
provide payment for medical services outside the United States.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)
