Pharmacies And Hospitals
There are private clinics,
hospitals and pharmacies in most large towns, but you may need the help
of someone who speaks Portuguese to communicate your needs. It is
recommended you carry a good supply of medicines you may need, as well
as a first aid kit. Doctors expect cash payment, so ensure your medical
insurance covers your trip to Mozambique.
Medical Insurance
A
good medical insurance policy, with an emergency air evacuation
facility, is strongly advised as most medical facilities are poor. This
can be obtained at any travel agency.
Health Care
Full
health insurance, preferably including Medevac, is essential. Medical
facilities are scarce. Many rural health centers were forced to close
during the conflict with the MNR rebels. It is advisable to carry basic
medical supplies including medications and sterile syringes.
