Lesotho's high altitude and crisp mountain air does not present many health problems for travellers. A yellow fever certificate is required from travellers coming from an infected area. HIV/AIDS is prevalent. There is a lack of good medical facilities and medical attention is often sought in neighbouring South Africa. Visitors should carry a personal supply of medicine, as supplies are limited. Lesotho's Flying Doctor service provides emergency medical services to remote parts of the country. Medical insurance is essential and should include emergency air evacuation coverage, especially if planning to spend time in remote mountainous regions.
