Full medical insurance is advised for international visitors as treatment is on a 'payment on advance' basis. Four main hospitals serve the island together with some private clinics where high fees are the norm.
In larger towns and cities, mains water is normally chlorinated, and whilst relatively safe, may cause mild stomach upsets. Bottled water is available and is advised for the first few weeks of the stay. Drinking water outside main towns is not advisable. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe to eat.
