Health Medical services in the Central African Republic are extremely limited. There is no adequate medical treatment available for routine and emergency procedures. Even minor health issues could require medical evacuation at your expense. Make sure you know if your health insurance plan covers any medical expenses coverage abroad.

We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation
