Health insurance is essential, preferably with cover for emergency evacuation. Medical facilities exist in all the regional capitals as well as in most towns and villages. Emergency medical facilities are extremely limited.
Note
1
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required by all nationals entering the country.
2
Following WHO guidelines issued in 1973, a cholera vaccination certificate is no longer a condition of entry to Ghana. However, cholera is a serious risk in this country and precautions are essential. During the rainy seasons (May to Jul and Sep to Oct) there are seasonal outbreaks of cholera. Recent outbreaks have occurred in parts of Accra and Kumasi. Up-to-date advice should be sought before deciding whether these precautions should include vaccination as medical opinion is divided over its effectiveness; see the Health appendix.
3
Immunisation against typhoid is usually advised. An outbreak of poliomyelitis occured in 2003.
4
Malaria risk, predominantly in the malignant falciparum form, exists all year throughout the country.
