DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS OFTEN EXPECT CASH PAYMENT FOR              
HEALTH SERVICES. THERE IS A SEVERE SHORTAGE OF BASIC             
MEDICAL SUPPLIES, INCLUDING DISPOSABLE NEEDLES, ANAESTHETICS,    
ANTIBIOTICS AND VACCINES. TRAVELLERS ARE THEREFORE ADVISED TO    
TAKE A FIRST-AID KIT WITH THEM. FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS, VISITORS ARE 
ADVISED TO SEEK HELP OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY. TRAVEL INSURANCE IS    
ESSENTIAL.
