This page contains the main health risks for travellers and general recommendations. Travel conditions are different for everyone and each patient's health condition varies. Discuss your trip during a travel consultation with your doctor or in a travel clinic, preferably six to eight weeks before departure.
Important health risks
Malaria
in the entire country there is a low to moderate malaria risk (P. Falciparum, still resistant to Chloroquine), also in the coastal and border areas and Port-au-Prince. The risk of malaria is the highest in the southwest (region around Jérémie). We recommend the use of mosquito-repellent measures from dusk till morning. For people with an increased risk, we sometimes recommend preventive malaria tablets, or taking an emergency treatment with you. In Haïti Chloroquine can be used as prevention or treatment of malaria. In case of fever during or after your journey, get tested for malaria as soon as possible.
