Health risks for travellers to Lebanon are not excessive. A
yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for travellers
arriving from an infected country in Africa or the Americas.
Typhoid vaccinations are recommended to all travellers with the
exception of those who intend to stay in Lebanon for only a short
period and take their meals in major restaurants and hotels.
Typhoid cases are reported in Lebanon every year around rainy
season as water levels rise and contaminated water from the sewers
come to ground level. Medical facilities and healthcare in Lebanon
are good. Doctors and hospitals usually expect immediate cash
payment and treatment can be very expensive.
