Travel Health: The only health risks associated with visiting Lithuania are for
those intending to visit forested areas, who are advised to take
the necessary precautions against tick-borne encephalitis. EU
citizens are entitled to emergency medical treatment if they have a
European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) from their country of origin.
Medical facilities are fair and there are plenty of doctors, but
equipment and resources are lacking. There are a few private
clinics of high standard. Doctors and hospitals usually expect
immediate cash payment for services. Travel medical insurance is
highly recommended.
