| Health Care |
|
The health service provides free medical treatment for all citizens. However, state-run services in Azerbaijan are limited.
Reciprocal health agreements exist between the UK and Azerbaijan, enabling travellers to receive free or low-cost emergency
care. All visitors, including those from the UK, are advised to take out comprehensive travel insurance. It is advisable to
take a supply of those medicines that are likely to be required (but check first that they may be legally imported). Travellers
are advised to take out an insurance policy which includes emergency repatriation in case of serious illness or accident.
