Health Care

Iraq's health system has suffered from years of neglect and war. Only limited facilities are available and evacuation by air ambulance may be required; therefore, insurance should have provision for this. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for services.


Note

* A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from travellers coming from infected areas.
