Mains water is normally chlorinated, and whilst relatively
safe, may cause abdominal upsets; visitors are thus advised to
drink bottled water. Romania has currently been experiencing
water shortages and visitors may find that tap water is only
available during certain hours. This is particularly true
around Bucharest and other large towns. Visitors in the
mountain areas will find it less of a problem as the water is
supplied by local mountain springs, full of natural minerals
and very safe. Milk is pasteurised and dairy products are safe
for consumption. Local meat, poultry, seafood, fruit and
vegetables are generally considered safe to eat.
Hepatitis A and tuberculosis occur and
hepatitis B is endemic. An anthrax outbreak was
reported in the Danube Delta in summer 2000; travellers
intending to visit the region are advised to obtain the latest
official government advice before departure. Rare West Nile
Fever outbreaks have been reported in the southeast.
Brucellosis occurs sporadically although risk to the
traveller is low. An outbreak of viral meningitis
occurred in the northern and eastern areas of the country
in 1999; travellers to these areas should seek medical advice
before departure. Rabies is present. For those at high
risk, vaccination before arrival should be considered. If you
are bitten, seek medical advice without delay.
Medical care in Romania is limited and there is a serious
shortage of basic medical supplies. Charges are made for medicine supplied by
a dispensing chemist. Travellers should contact a
Romanian Embassy for details of other agreements. Nationals of
countries who do not have a reciprocal health agreement with
Romania are expected to pay immediate cash for health
services.
