The Department of State urges travelers to exercise caution when visiting Haiti, given Haiti’s weak emergency-response infrastructure. Medical facilities in Haiti, including ambulance services, are particularly weak. Some US citizens injured in accidents and others with serious health concerns have had to arrange and pay for medical evacuation to the US. The State Department strongly encourages visitors to Haiti to obtain evacuation insurance.
The State Department also warns of possible civil unrest during Haiti’s upcoming elections scheduled for Oct. 25 and Dec. 27, 2015. Avoid political rallies, demonstrations and crowds of any kind.
