Health care & Firat Aid in Raja Ampat

​

Raja Ampat is one of the most remote islands in the world -breathtaking beautiful but also challenging when it comes to health care. The hot and humit climate means bacteria can spread very quickly. Even the smallest cuts or scratches could become infected in no time and should be treated and covererd right away.

A well-prepared first aid kit is a real game-changer. The two most used items are band-aids and desinfectant (ideally waterproof ones or additional tape so it stays longer) and ear drops for preventing or treating ear infections - don`t underestimate how often you need them. Other essentials include:

  • anticiotic ointment

  • charcoal tablets

  • antihistamine

  • prescription antibiotics

  • tiger balm​

 

Please discuss with your docter what works best for you in a tropical remote area.​​
