The healthcare system in the country is vastly different from that in Europe and often presents challenges in terms of personnel, technology, equipment and/or hygiene. Tofo and Vilanculos, our main destinations, do not have reliable healthcare facilities. Small, modestly equipped pharmacies with medications for common illnesses and malaria are available. However, the small local hospital in Inhambane does not meet European standards. Specialist doctors can only be found in the capital city, Maputo. Comprehensive medical services and reliable surgery are available in South Africa. If you suffer from chronic illnesses or require regular medication, it’s essential to bring an adequate supply from home. During your stay abroad, it is advisable to obtain international health and evacuation insurance and carry your own customized travel medical kit. Diving Information: There is no decompression chamber in Mozambique. The nearest decompression chamber is in South Africa. Detailed information about local healthcare is available on the Foreign Office’s website.
