health-and-insuranceAs per the report prepared by WHO for information purpose, all the travelers to Myanmar are recommended to consult with the personal physicians before traveling to Myanmar although the vaccination is not formally recommended.

Mosquito and insect repellents should be brought personally and mosquito bites should be avoided whenever possible. The vaccination for tropical diseases like Hepatitis, Typhoid, Tuberculosis and Tetanus should be considered for the travelers who would like to travel to remote area of Myanmar.

The food from street side vendors is not recommended. Fresh vegetables and tropical fruits are abundant. Drink only bottled water and boiled water which is easily available.

We recommended the travelers to purchase the insurance from its own country or reliable international insurance company which covers the medical evacuation in case of serious illness or injury as the standards of medical care, treatment and laboratory facilities are not generally used by international community. Diplomats, UN personnel and foreign experts normally use a private hospital in Yangon – Pan Hlaing hospital.
