Food and Drink
Tap water is safe to drink in hotels, resorts and main towns, but precautions should be taken in rural areas. Bottled water is available. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe to eat.
Other Risks
Diarrhoeal diseases are common. Hepatitis B is endemic. Take precautions against mosquito bites as dengue fever may be present.
Health Care
The main hospitals are located in Ba, Labasa, Lautoka, Levuka, Savusavu, Sigatoka, Suva and Taveuni, with health centres elsewhere throughout the islands. There is a private hospital in Suva that provides Western-style medical care and maintains the Fiji Decompression Chamber. Doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash payment for health services.
