Health officials have reported several cases of measles in travelers coming from Bali. You should get the measles vaccine and be extra-vigilant of washing your hands.

Japanese encephalitis, dengue and chikungunya are all present in Singapore. Mosquito repellents, netting and avoiding the outdoors at certain times of day provide some protection. The Japanese encephalitis vaccine is the best protection against that mosquito-borne disease.

Although healthcare conditions are low, medical care is readily available in all major cities, including limited psychiatric services.

Medicare does not cover costs overseas. Make sure that you have international coverage on your health care plan. Most hospitals expect payment upfront before a procedure is done.
