Other French polynesia customs information
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical treatment is generally good on the major islands, but is limited in more remote or less populated areas. Patients with emergencies or serious illnesses are often referred to facilities on Tahiti for treatment. In Papeete, the capital of Tahiti, two major hospitals and several private clinics provide 24‑hour medical service. Serious medical problems requiring hospitalization and/or medical evacuation to the United States can cost thousands of dollars. Although some doctors and hospitals are beginning to accept credit card and U.S. insurance payments, others still expect immediate cash payment for health services.
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?s hotline for international travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747) or via the CDC?s internet site at http://www.cdc.gov/travel.
