Health Tips
In Jaipur, the biggest risk to most travellers is from the heat – dehydration, sunstroke and sunburn are common ailments, especially for those who come from more temperate climes. Fortunately, ensuring a regular intake of fluids, using strong sunscreens and wearing a shady hat and sunglasses easily minimise the risks from the hot desert sun. A sunscreen with minimum SPF 20 to escape sunburn is essential.
The major risks to your health from the armies of mosquitoes are malaria, encephalitis, kala azar and dengue fever. Cover your arms and legs; be liberal with the repellent and in problem areas sleep under a mosquito net. Traveller's diarrhoea is another running problem and year after year traveller after traveller suffers from this ailment. Ensure it's nothing nastier by avoiding green salads, uncooked food and water that you haven't sanitised by dropping an iodine pill into it. Slightly more serious is the risk of contacting AIDS, Hepatitis B and other diseases. For your sake and the sake of the people you're visiting always use a condom. Have safe responsible sex.
The quality of health services is more than adequate in Jaipur with its medical college, hospitals and nursing homes, well-qualified private practitioners and 24-hour pharmacies. Medicines are fairly cheap and although chemist shops in the cities are well stocked, it is always a good idea to take along prescription drugs. Travellers from yellow fever areas are required to have an inoculation certificate. Prior inoculation for poliomyelitis is recommended.
It's hopefully been a great tour of town .
