Health Care

Health care is of a good standard, but health insurance is advisable to cover costs as the reciprocal health agreement between the UK and France may not apply in Guadeloupe. There is a University Hospital Centre in Pointe-à-Pitre, on Grande-Terre, and a hospital on Basse-Terre as well as a number of clinics.


Note

* A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required by travellers over one year of age arriving from an infected or endemic zone within six days.
