Health Care
Good healthcare facilities, sometimes meeting Western standards, are available in all major cities, but facilities in rural areas are often limited. Travellers are strongly advised to take out full comprehensive medical insurance before departing for India. It is advisable to bring specific medicines from the UK. There are state-operated facilities in all towns and cities and private consultants and specialists in urban areas.
On leaving India: Visitors leaving for countries which impose health restrictions on arrivals from India are required to be in possession of a valid certificate of inoculation and vaccination. Note
* Any person (including infants over six months old) arriving by air or sea from an infected country must obtain a yellow fever certificate (includes passengers who have been transit in a country in the endemic zone). Meninggococcal vaccine is recommended for all travellers who intend to visit the states of Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram in the northeast of the country.
