Uruguay travel health
Required is not recommended: the first is what the border asks about, the second is what a clinic would suggest. Both, for Uruguay, then the number to dial and what care costs a visitor. Applies to every guide in Uruguay: Punta del Este, Montevideo.
Required to enter
- Yellow fever certificate, but only if you are arriving from a country where yellow fever is present
Recommended
- Routine vaccinations up to date
- Hepatitis A
- Typhoid for longer stays
Emergency number
911, or 105 for an ambulance
Care for visitors
Good and affordable
The best in South America alongside Chile. Emergency care is provided to everyone, the private mutualista system is well run, and Punta del Este has good clinics that scale up for the summer. Tap water is safe to drink, which is unusual for the region.
The general rules — clinic timing, water, mosquitoes, insurance — are in travel health tips.
