Medical Services Mozambique

By  October 31, 2019

Pharmacies And Hospitals

For medical services in Mozambique 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 in Mozambique

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.
