Features of medicine
The level of local medical institutions is rather low, there is still a certain lack of appropriate medical equipment and staff qualifications in the country. Service even at the Central Hospital in Naverevere (Tarawa) does not always meet European standards. There is only one ambulance on all islands. A new and fairly modern hospital has been built in Bonriki, and there is also a good clinic in Betio. Most of the outer islands have small hospitals that send all seriously ill patients to Tarawa.

When visiting Kiribati, you should have with you the necessary supply of medicines and medicines and even vitamins (local products are frankly poor in them), and in the presence of chronic diseases, the entire necessary set of funds, certified by a prescription signed by the attending physician.

International health insurance is highly recommended.
