Health Care
The health service provides free medical treatment for all citizens. However, state-run services in Azerbaijan are limited. Private health care insurance covering emergency repatriation is recommended. Reciprocal health agreements exist between the UK and Azerbaijan, enabling travelers to receive free or low-cost emergency care. If a traveller becomes ill during an organized tour in Azerbaijan, emergency treatment is free, with small sums to be paid for medicines and hospital treatment. If a longer stay than originally planned becomes necessary because of illness, the visitor has to pay for all further treatment – travel insurance is therefore recommended. It is advisable to take a supply of those medicines that are likely to be required (but check first that they may be legally imported). Private chemists in Baku stock a range of the more basic medicines. Travelers are advised to take out an insurance policy which includes emergency repatriation in case of serious illness or accident.

Note
1
Immunization against typhoid is usually recommended and immunization against poliomyelitis is sometimes advised.

2
Limited malaria risk, exclusively in the benign vivax form, exists from June through October in southern lowland areas, mainly in the area between the Kura and Arax rivers.
