Seychelles is generally a healthy place to visit. We do not have dangerous animals or snakes (we do have Mosquitoes) . To protect locals and visitors from such diseases as Ebola and Yellow Fever, all travellers arriving in Seychelles are required to complete a health questionnaire as part of the online Govtas application. Healthcare provision, private & government, is high by African standards. There is a Government Clinic and a pharmacy in our village and a hospital in Anse Royale.
