Health Care
The Niue Health Centre offers medical and dental treatment. There is a 24-hour on-call emergency service. Patients will be asked for on-the-spot payment. Complicated cases will be sent to New Zealand. International travellers are strongly advised to take out full medical insurance before departure.
Food and Drink
Drinking water is from natural spring and rain water, but it is also recommended that you boil water prior to drinking. Imported bottled water is also available. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables are generally considered safe to eat.
Other Risks
Vaccinations against tuberculosis and hepatitis B are sometimes recommended.
