Medical Warnings

MEDICAL WARNINGS

The choice of whether or not to bring malaria pills is up to you. There is malaria in Mentawai as there is in most other parts of Indonesia, however, the small size of our human population and the size of our island in general limit the risk of mosquito’s carrying the parasite.

Your health is very important to us and as such we suggest you to bring the following:
Anti allergies
Antiseptic ointments
Antibiotic ointment and oral antibiotics for reef cuts
Antipyretic pills
Over and above this, we want to reiterate our recommendation of travel insurance as this ensures you are looked after in case the need for medical evacuation arrises. Should this be the case we will take you to the nearest and safest hospital at your own cost, as such, we remind you that insurance is not mandatory but potentially of great importance should something go terribly wrong. This is why we urge you to get travel insurance and bring it with you.
While we will be on hand should anything go wrong, we are not responsible for any accidents that may occur while doing any activity here at Beng Bengs Surfcamp.
