Health Care
There is a reciprocal health agreement with the UK, and hospital treatment, some dental treatment and some other medical treatment is normally free. Visitors can expect to pay for prescribed medicines. A UK passport must be shown to receive medical treatment, and the agreement does not cover repatriation back to the UK. Medical insurance is compulsory for all travellers to Belarus and if you buy this outside of Belarus, you will be required to prove that you are covered by showing policy documents. If you arrive without insurance, you will be required to buy state medical insurance starting from $1 per day. It is also advisable to carry an adequate supply of prescribed medicines which may be unobtainable in Belarus. Comprehensive travel insurance is advised for all nationals (including UK travellers).
