Basic health information for travelers to Maldives

• It is always recommended to keep a certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever when one has travelled to countries with infected areas

• Medical facilities in the country are extremely limited and travellers are strongly urged to obtain both medical and travel insurance before starting their journey. Upfront payment for medicine or medical assistance will likely be needed. Transport to nearby countries may be required in more severe cases of illness or injury and travellers visiting rural areas should take a first-aid kit with anti-tetanus and anti-venom serums for protection.

Basic security information for travelers to Maldives

• There have been occasional riots and anti government demonstrations in the country and at other locations throughout the country and visitors should take care to avoid any large groups or demonstrations which could potentially turn violent. Travellers are also advised to check the current political situation in France prior to beginning their journey.
