Principality of Monaco - Health
Monaco Health for Visitors
Healthcare in Monaco is accessible through both the public and the private sector. Monaco is not a member of the EU, therefore reciprocal medical arrangements with the EU do not apply.
The Princess Grace Hospital is a public hospital that operates as the largest general hospital in the state, fully equipped with the most modern medical equipment and with a 24-hour emergency service.
A higher standard of care is also provided by a number of private clinics and hospitals.
Medical expenses in Monaco can be quite costly. Ensure you have sufficient travel health insurance and sufficient funds to cover the expenses of medical treatment and repatriation.
Vaccine-Preventable Diseases:
Aside from routine vaccinations, it is recommended to be vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B, Measles, and Rabies.
For details of the recommended vaccinations see the CDC Travelers Health Website.
Food and Water Concerns:
Tap water in Monaco is safe to drink, and food safety standards are high.
Prescription Drugs:
Pharmacies in Monaco are called “Pharmacie” and are typically open Monday to Saturday, with some exceptions on Sundays and public holidays, but with reduced hours.
Some common medications can be bought over the counter without a prescription, while others require a valid prescription from a licensed doctor.
Emergency Numbers:
See Emergencies.
