Understanding the Tunisia Health Declaration

https://fr.ivisa.com/tunisia-health-declaration-form

All foreign tourists who want to travel to Tunisia must complete the Tunisia Health Declaration Form. This document is required to help at least prevent the spread of Middle East respiratory Syndrome (or MRS), a deadly disease that has swept through Europe and the Middle East. This form should be electronically signed, and printed. You can also hand it to a Tunisian health authority upon your arrival. It is a good idea to review your health statement before you travel to this North African country.

This is essentially a two page form that requests basic information regarding your health history. Although it doesn't ask for the same information that the health application for citizens of the European Union or American tourists, it provides enough information to help you plan your trip. It asks for information about your nationality (Tunisia has a multicultural population so all Tunisians are required to complete the form), date and birth, passport type, country of citizenship, intended destination and contact numbers for emergency medical care. A licensed travel doctor will examine your form. Your doctor will examine the form and issue a medical certificate.

Tunisia has several hospitals located in different areas. However, all foreign patients who seek treatment must first go through the Ministries of Health to have their health declaration reviewed and approved before they can be admitted. Although the review process is not required, most visitors to Tunisia must go through it before they are admitted. If a patient's health information is not current or incomplete, some hospitals may refuse to admit them. A brief description of the process and what is required of the patient can be found in the Tunisia Health Declaration. To find out the procedure for you in Tunisia, you can also contact the Ministries of Health.

Tourists who wish to travel to Tunisia must have a passport. The process is easy. There are other items that are not necessary, such as your contact information and a copy or your travel insurance policy. All travellers must present an identity card (called an i-card) at check-in. This card is usually valid for up to 3 days once it is issued. You can pick up your passport and visa at a few consignment shops in Tunisia upon arrival.

The Tunisia Health Declaration provides general information regarding the security and welfare conditions in Tunisia. It does not provide details about the treatment offered by either the government or private health care system. It does not detail the qualifications of doctors or nurses, or what standards apply to them, nor does it specify the laws that apply to the practice of medicine. You will need to visit the Ministry of Health if you have health concerns that may require you to be treated by an independent practitioner.

You may wish to consider contacting a private medical consultant to assist you with obtaining a Tunisia Health Declaration. A consultant will not only be able interpret the technical language of the declaration, but may also be able help you with your individual health care needs. This service has been used by many citizens of Tunisia. If your health requires special attention, consider consulting an independent medical consultant for further information and assistance.
