The health in Tunisia


Vaccinations

It is recommended but not mandatory vaccinations against typhoid, hepatitis A and B, especially if you go on an adventure.

Main risk

Diarrhea, which is commonly called "tourist." Some tips to avoid: drinking water (if this is not possible, boiling water), avoid ice cubes (made with tap water), preferably eat fruit with skin or crust, preventing water-washed raw pieces. Eat meat or fish with steamed vegetables. Bring in your suitcase an antidiarrheal.

Hospitals

They offer a completely satisfactory level of care.

Emergency departments are open 24 hours. Doctors and hospitals often ask to be paid in cash. Pharmacies can fight the most common medicines, for others it will require a prescription. As in Europe, there are pharmacies at night.
