Juba - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any particular health concerns? What is the quality of available medical care? What medical conditions typically require medical evacuation?
There is a small health unit with a very good nurse. There is also a surprisingly good private clinic with which the Embassy has a good relationship, with an excellent expat doctor and nurse. However, anything serious would definitely require a medevac. Juba has all of the typical tropical diseases and the usual precautions must be taken. Mosquitoes are a big problem and the compound is sprayed regularly to keep them under control. - Mar 2023
Malaria is rampant, with other mosquito-borne and tropical illnesses prevalent. A yellow fever vaccine is required to enter the country. Anything that is not minor invokes a med evac. This is not a post to come to if you have medical issues. Bring mosquito repellent and sunscreen with you. - Sep 2020
