For the other islands we are still far behind ...In this archipelago health care is very different from the " African " or there are no major disease hazards .

We recommend that you eat the flesh always well cooked and maybe even vegetables. In bars and restaurants when you ask ordinte to drink " always cold " or " no ice " this is because the ice is made with tap water is not potable.
