HEALTH IN NIGERIA
Nigerian medical facilities are generally poorly equipped. Many medicines are unavailable, including medications for diabetes or asthma. Take care when purchasing medicines locally, as counterfeit pharmaceuticals are a common problem, and may be difficult to distinguish from genuine medications. Hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for health services.
Emergency services comparable to those in the United States or Europe are non-existent, and the blood supply is unreliable and unsafe for transfusion. For serious medical problems, you should consider traveling to the United States, Europe, or South Africa for treatment.
For emergency services in Nigeria, dial 112.
Ambulance services are:
- not present throughout the country or are unreliable in most areas.
- not equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment.
- not staffed with trained paramedics and often have little or no medical equipment.
- Injured or seriously ill travelers may prefer to take a taxi or private vehicle to the nearest major hospital rather than wait for an ambulance.
Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.
Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments.
A World Health Organization (WHO) yellow card is required for entry into the country. The Nigerian authorities require a Yellow Fever vaccination within the past ten years and that adults have a Polio booster after the original childhood vaccine series. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publishes a country-specific list of recommended vaccines to receive prior to arrival.
Some HIV/AIDS entry restrictions exist for visitors to and foreign residents of Nigeria. Nigerian authorities may deny entry to foreigners who are “undesirable for medical reasons” and may require HIV tests for foreigners intending to marry Nigerian citizens.

You and your primary close contacts should immediately isolate and seek advice from your local health authority.
Question:
I or someone I am traveling with is not eligible for vaccination or cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons. What should we do?
