A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from all travellers arriving from infected areas, even if they do not leave the airport.

Typhoid fever is common in some areas. Poliomyelitis has very nearly been eradicated, so risk of infection is very low.

Tap water is considered safe to drink. However, drinking water outside main cities and towns may be contaminated and sterilisation is advisable. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe to eat.

Hepatitis A and B occur. Lesotho is free of bilharzia (schistosomiasis) and people may swim in fresh water without danger. There is a high incidence of HIV/AIDS.

Health insurance is recommended.

Since the most practical way to reach Lesotho is to go through South Africa, it will also be necessary to conform to South African health regulations.
