Inoculation regulations can change at short notice. Please take medical advice in the case of doubt. Where 'Sometimes' appears in the table above, precautions may be
required, depending on the season and region visited.
Food and Drink
Standards of hygiene are generally reasonable in Chile, and should not cause visitors any undue concern.
Other Risks
Vaccinations against tuberculosis and hepatitis B are sometimes recommended. When travelling to rural parts of Chile, care should be taken to avoid the Hanta virus, a potentially fatal condition that is spread by rodents. In particular, make sure rustic cabins are well aired out and free from any sign of rodents.
Health Care
Health insurance is essential. Emergency services can be dialled free (tel: (2) 131 for an ambulance), but for medical emergencies, private services may deliver more modern equipment and a faster response. Clínicas (private hospitals) can be contacted directly in the case of a medical emergency.
