| Medical
services in South Africa are good in urban areas and in the vicinity of
game parks and beaches, but are limited elsewhere. Doctors and hospitals
often require immediate cash payment, but usually accept major credit cards.
It is advisable to secure medical cover on your medical insurance before
arriving in the country. Note that major hotels have contracts with physicians
and dentists. Visitors are however advised to bring along supplies of specialised
medication they may require. Otherwise, medicine may be purchased at pharmacies
and emergency pharmacies are open all night. |
