are there diseases in Panama?

When you travel through Panama, you should think about medical prevention

Panama is tropical country, so it is impossible to be 100% protected from tropical diseases.
But with the development of the country, the number of affection decreases.

We recommend getting a yellow fever vaccination. Your standarD vaccinations, like Tetanus etc., should also be valid or renewed.
In any case you should have an international health insurance. The health system of Panama is generally pretty good, but not in every part of the country. You will get the best treatment in Panamas Capital. Many people from Central America fly to Panama-City to take advantage of its medical system.
