Understanding the Tunisia Health Declaration

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

The Tunisia Health Declaration Form is an electronic travel screening required for all foreign tourists who wish to enter Tunisia. 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 out. You can also hand it to a Tunisian health authority upon your arrival. Before embarking on a visit to this North African country, it's advisable to review your health declaration.

This form is basically a two-page form that asks for basic information about 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.

The Tunisian government has set up several hospitals in different locations throughout the country, but all foreign patients seeking treatment must first go through the Ministries of Health and have their health declaration reviewed 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. The Tunisia Health Declaration provides a brief description of the process as well as what the patient must do. You may also contact the Ministries of Health directly to find out what procedure is required for you when in Tunisia.

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. There are a few consignment shops in Tunisia where you can pick up your visa and passport upon arrival.

The Tunisia Health Declaration provides information about the security and welfare situation in Tunisia. It does not provide details about the treatment offered by either the government or private health care system. It doesn't provide details about the qualifications of nurses or doctors, nor what standards they must meet. Nor does it detail the laws that govern 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.

A private medical consultant may be able to assist you in 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. Many citizens in Tunisia have benefited from this service. If your health requires special attention, consider consulting an independent medical consultant for further information and assistance.
