Travel Health: There are no health risks attached to travel to Portugal. A
yellow fever vaccination certificate is necessary for entry for
anyone travelling from an infected area and destined for the Azores
or Madeira. Health facilities are good and reciprocal health
agreements exist with most European countries, including the UK,
whose citizens can receive low-cost emergency care at state
hospitals. It is advisable that travellers obtain a European Health
Insurance Card (EHIC) before travel. Dental care and repatriation
costs are not covered under this agreement, and medical insurance
is therefore advised.
