MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION, Cote dIvoire

Displayed:   times.

Abidjan has privately run medical and dental facilities that are adequate but do not fully meet U.S. standards. Good physician specialists can be found, though few speak English. While pharmacies are well stocked with medications produced in Europe, newer drugs may not be available. Medical care in Cote d'Ivoire outside of Abidjan is extremely limited. Malaria is a serious health problem in Cote dÂ’Ivoire. For more information on malaria, including protective measures, see the Centers for Disease Control TravelersÂ’ Health web site at http://www.cdc.gov/travel/malinfo.htm. Additional 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); fax 1-888-CDC-FAXX (1-888-232-3299), or via the CDC's Internet site at http://www.cdc.gov/travel.
