Health

Another of the Things to Know Before Traveling to Central African Republic is about health. To begin with, COVID-19 is still a threat in the Central African Republic. There are few medical facilities in the CAR, and pharmaceuticals are scarce. Importantly, if you become extremely ill or wounded, you may need to be evacuated; check your travel insurance to see whether this is covered.

Yellow fever is also widespread. It has the potential to be deadly. Before you go, you should be vaccinated. To enter the Central African Republic, you must present a valid immunization certificate. Malaria, filariasis, and African sleeping sickness are all prevalent insect-borne disorders. Insect repellent should be used. Make sure your lodging is insect-free.

Infectious infections are quite common. Hepatitis, typhoid, cholera, and monkeypox are among them. Drink bottled water or boil drinking water. Ice and uncooked or undercooked meals should be avoided. Additionally, in the Central African Republic, women's health is low. In 2010, the country had the world's fourth highest maternal death rate.
