MEDICAL INSURANCE :

You can’t assume your insurance will go with you when you travel to Kenya. It’s very important to find out BEFORE you leave whether or not your medical insurance will cover you overseas. You need to ask your insurance company two questions:

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

• Do not drink tap water unless it has been boiled, filtered, or chemically disinfected.

• Do not drink unbottled beverages or drinks with ice.

• Do not eat fruits or vegetables unless they have been peeled or cooked.

• Avoid cooked foods that are no longer piping hot

INSECT AND TICK PROTECTION

• Wear long sleeves, long pants, hats and shoes (rather than sandals). • For rural and forested areas, boots are preferable, withpants tucked in, to prevent tick bites.

SWIMMING AND BATHING PRECAUTIONS

• Avoid swimming, wading, or rafting in bodies of fresh water, such as lakes, ponds, streams, or rivers.

KENYA HEALTH CARE GENERAL ADVICE

• Bring adequate supplies of all medications in their original containers, clearly labeled.
