Treatment in Tunisia

Tunisian medicine is quite high in quality and at the same time quite cheap. That is why it is one of the most popular destinations for medical tourism. If your treatment lasts up to 90 days, you can either enter Tunisia without a visa or with a short-term visa, depending on your citizenship. If you need to stay longer, we recommend that you open a temporary residence visa. For more information about a short-term visa, please contact the tourism department and read about long-term visas in the residency section. To do this, you will most likely need to attach additional documents about treatment and contact the nearest representative office. 

Birth of a child in Tunisia

Preparation for the birth of a child in Tunisia should begin with the choice of international health insurance, which provides full coverage for the care of pregnant women. If expectant mothers prefer to give birth in a medical institution, then they should live in an urban area where the level of medical care is higher. Those who live in rural areas can contact the nearest hospital at their place of residence or work. District hospitals also provide maternity care. There are about 118 district hospitals, which are located mainly in the main city of each Tunisian village. Although public hospitals provide the cheapest delivery packages, there may be some shortcomings in the quality and availability of care.

There are a number of good private hospitals that can be found in major cities such as the Tunisian capital. Be sure to check with your private health insurance provider in Tunisia which hospitals they have accredited.

A child can obtain Tunisian citizenship only if one of the parents has this citizenship.
