City Ville Guide

17 - Health
No vaccination is obligatory to enter the country. However we recommend that you get vaccinated against tetanos, polio, diptheria, typhoid and hepatitis A and B.

It is also necessary to follow an anti-malarial treatment before you leave for the country if you are planning to visit the south.
There is a relatively high risk of malaria in the following regions from May to October :
the central valleys, regions under 1000 m altitude, coastal regions on the Mexican Gulf, from Tampico to the Yucatan peninsula. The coastal regions on the Pacific Ocean between Guaymas and the Guatemalan border are risky all the year round.

Never drink tap water, avoid ice cubes, uncooked vegetables and raw fish. Like that you will run little risk of contacting diarrhea, dysentery, giardiase or even cholera.

If you have to be hospitalized, we recommend the following establishments :
- Hospital Espanol, tel 00 52 52 03 38 90/52 03 37 35
- Hospital ABC, tel 00 52 55 16 80 77/52 72 85 00
- Hospital Los Angeles Pedregal; tel 00 52 56 52 69 87/55 68 15 40
