IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry to Pakistan by travellers coming from an infected area. Malaria exists in parts of Pakistan, and travellers should seek medical advice before travelling. Typhoid, Hepatitis A and polio are also a risk. Bird flu was confirmed in poultry farms, but no human infections have been reported. The risk to travellers is low, but as a precaution close contact with live birds should be avoided and all poultry and egg dishes well cooked. There is a risk of diarrhoeal diseases; visitors should only drink bottled or otherwise sterilised water, and avoid dairy products, uncooked meat, salads and unpeeled fruit. In the areas affected by the earthquake of October 2005, basic health facilities have been disrupted. Outside the major cities there are few hospitals of a high standard. Medical insurance is strongly advised.
