A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required by all travellers over one year arriving from infected areas or who have passed through partly or wholly endemic areas within the preceding six days.

Typhoid occurs in rural areas.

Mains water is normally chlorinated and, whilst relatively safe, may cause mild abdominal upsets. Bottled water is available and is advised for the first few weeks of the stay. 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 with occasional outbreaks of dengue fever. Visitors should beward of the effects of sunstroke or burning, since the Seychelles is close to the Equator.
Rabies may be present in certain areas. If you are bitten, seek medical advice without delay; for more information, see the Health appendix.

There is a large general hospital in Victoria and there are clinics elsewhere on La Digue, Mahé and Praslin, but medical facilities are limited. Visitors may obtain emergency treatment for a basic consultancy fee. Additional medical insurance is advised, including emergency repatriation. There are several pharmacies available in Victoria. On other islands, Government clinics are used. There are dental clinics available on Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue. Prices vary according to whether they are Government clinics, or private ones. A 24-hour doctor is on call for visitors at their hotels.
