Pharmacies

In case of emergencies please contact your hotel or resort management for best advice on nearest hospitals and pharmacies.

For hospitals you can find further information at our directory under section hospitals.

For your requirements on medicines the largest network of pharmacies nationwide is the Mercury Drug chain. They are well assorted and have most medicines prescribed as well as medical devices available or can get it for you.

There are also a number of smaller pharmacies available, primarily in the provinces, which can provide basic medicines and also cater to the prescriptions of the doctors nearby. However a particular prescribed medicine may not be available here. If you need a particular medicament over a longer period of time we advice you to carry sufficient stocks with you and to check with the pharmacy how best to store and carry it! Furthermore you may check through your hotel or resort management prior to arrival if the required medicament can be purchased at the local pharmacy.

Note: I can not take over any responsibility concerning availability of medicines, devises etc. I can only provide a basic recommendation and it is your responsibility to check and prepare accordingly. Thank you.
