Highlighted items:

  • Clothing: light and breathable clothing because it is often tropically warm.
  • Shoes: comfortable walking shoes in any case!
  • Medicines and travel kit: a small first aid kit with what you think you need, because pharmacies often have little stock.

Back to top

How does the health care system work in Cuba?

  • Cuba has a comprehensive health care system that is heavily regulated by the government. The country is internationally known for its focus on preventive care and excellent medical training of doctors. 
  • Health care through the Cuban National Health System (SNS) is free for residents, but special medical facilities and insurance are available for expatriates. 
  • The healthcare system is made up of three levels - primary, secondary and tertiary. 
  • Expats are required to purchase health insurance and cannot simply visit public institutions. For expats, there is an independent system called Servimed with more than 40 clinics for primary and specialty care. 
  • Hospitals and clinics do not accept foreign credit or debit cards. You are required to pay with contact money! 
  • Local Servimed pharmacies are often short of medications (except for medications for endemic diseases), so it may be wiser to bring your own from your home country. But be sure to pay close attention to import regulations. 
  • Psychiatric clinics are few and far between, and getting into them as an expat is difficult. 
  • Call 104 for emergency medical services. Medical evacuation may be required, should the situation be life-threatening.

How does the public health care system work in Cuba?

  • Healthcare is fully socialized and free to Cuban citizens. This applies to both basic care and specialized treatments. 
  • The country has very good doctors, but there can sometimes be a lack of medical equipment, medicine or infrastructure. 
  • You can find outpatient clinics and hospitals all over the country, but urban care is often better than rural areas. 
Back to top

How does the private health care system work in Cuba?

  • Since the revolution by Fidel Castro, the two-part system has been abolished. 
  • So there are actually no private institutions - everything is run by the government. 
  • However, there are Servimed clinics that specially serve expats. Here you will often find better facilities as well. 
Back to top

How is the general practitioner in Cuba arranged?

  • General doctors can be found in the Servimed clinics.

How is the dentist in Cuba arranged?

  • The dental care sector has suffered a lot in Cuba in recent years. 
  • Facilities are often not in good condition and there is a lack of supplies. 

How is the pregnancy, obstetrics & maternity care arranged in Cuba?

  • Most births take place in the hospital or a birthing home. 
  • Much prenatal care is available, including regular checkups, ultrasounds and various tests. 
  • Births take place under the supervision of midwives and gynecologists. 
  • Cesarean sections are performed only when medically necessary. 
  • Abortion is legal and the country has one of the highest Abortion rates in Latin America. 
  • Another great aspect of the system: the government provides free access to contraceptives for locals!

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Cuba?

What should you pay attention to in terms of safely in Cuba?

  • Cuba is relatively safe and there is virtually no crime, although there is a chance of petty crime due to the economic situation.
  • There are some criminal “fake cab drivers,” particularly at the airport and around Old Havana. 
  • Car-related crime occurs in Havana and other tourist spots. Make sure you have a pre-arranged cab and keep doors and windows closed. 
  • Political activities or criticism of the government should be avoided as a foreigner. 
  • Do not take pictures in military zones or other closed areas. This can be seen as spying! 
  • Be sure to exchange money only at official Cadeca exchange offices. If you exchange your money anywhere else, you risk being fined or even imprisoned. 
  • From June to November is hurricane season in Cuba. During this season, floods and landslides are common. There may also be no electricity or water for a while after a hurricane. 

What should you pay attention to in terms of diseases in Cuba?

  • Some mosquito-borne diseases are common in Cuba. 
  • Drinking tap water is not recommended. 

What should you pay attention to in terms of traffic in Cuba?

  • Many means of transportation are not well maintained, streets are often poorly lit and poorly marked. 
  • Avoid driving at night because of the poor roads, the risk of crossing animals and people driving without lights.
  • Public transportation is often limited and very crowded. Cabs and rental cars are usually a more convenient option.

Travel in Cuba

  • Cuba is one of our favorite islands in the Caribbean. The country still looks like the one you see in the movie Dirty Dancing 2. Dance in the streets with Cuban music among the colonial houses. Be quick, because authentic Cuba is fast disappearing. Nevertheless, it is still a treat to travel around here!
  • Take a walk along Havana's dilapidated but beautiful Malecon waterfront. This boulevard leads from Old Havana to West Fedado.
  • Immerse yourself in Cuban nightlife, with Cuban salsa. Every Saturday night at 8, for example, there is a big party (Fiesta de la Cubania) in the streets of Bayamo (Bayamo's street party).
  • In Las Tunas there is a market every weekend where things are sold. There is also singing and dancing. A good chance to meet the locals.
  • Enjoy sun, sea and beach. For example, at Varadero, Playas del Este (Havana) or Havana Riviera (Santa María).
  • Wander through Castillo de La Real Fuerza, Havana's oldest fort. By the way, the fort was built in the wrong place.
  • Baracao is a seaside place with beautiful nature. The road to it “La Farola” is also beautiful.
  • Isla de la Juventud: The perfect place to go diving with over 30 coral reefs. Also nice that it is not very touristy here yet.
  • Trinidad is a colonial city founded in 1514. With elegant houses, and cobblestone streets with horses running over them.
  • Pinar del Rio: A Cuban province that many say has the most beautiful nature. Including stalactite caves with underground rivers.
  • Cayo Largo: Precisely because the island is so hideously touristy, it is almost a paradise on earth. The place to relax on typical Caribbean beaches.
  • The old Cuba is slowly disappearing, as more and more capitalist influences are gradually being allowed in. Visit Cuba when you are able to.

Insurance for working abroad

Back to top

What is insurance for working abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid work abroad.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only provide coverage for recreational travel without study, internship, or work. If you engage in activities other than recreational activities, this generally means that you will no longer be covered for the entire travel period.

Studying abroad with the right insurance

Back to top

What is insurance for studying abroad?

  • Insurance for studying abroad means that you take out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your studies, your education, and your related activities abroad.
  • Insurance for studying abroad is also referred to as study insurance. This study insurance is specifically for when you go abroad for a long period of time to take courses, study, or conduct research abroad.
Back to top

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a study abroad?

  • Study insurance is specifically designed for studying abroad, whereas regular travel insurance policies may offer coverage on paper but handle this situation differently in practice.
  • Study insurance offers coverage for longer stays than regular (vacation) travel insurance.
  • Study insurance is also suitable for many types of activities, ranging from various sports to hiking at high altitudes.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if you start working during your trip, whether planned or unplanned. If you have not taken out insurance before departure that allows you to work, there is no guarantee that you will be able to take out insurance abroad that provides coverage.
  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if your own country's health insurance no longer provides coverage.
  • Student insurance also covers your healthcare costs above the rates in your own country; with regular insurance, you have to pay the extra costs yourself.
  • Student insurance can also continue to provide coverage if (study) visa issuers impose additional requirements on how you insure yourself, for example if you are going to the US and applying for a J-1 visa.
  • Student insurance continues to provide coverage if you are staying abroad for a longer period of time and want to visit your own country in between.
Back to top

What is important to insure when you are going to study abroad?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the country or countries where you are going to travel and work.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you are going to participate in during your period abroad
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return if something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you only insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
  • That you pay close attention to choosing the right coverage when performing work alongside your studies.

How does health care work in Cuba, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

How does health care work in Cuba, and what travel insurance, health insurance or expat insurance do you need?

Back to top

How does the health care system work in Cuba?

  • Cuba has a comprehensive health care system that is heavily regulated by the government. The country is internationally known for its focus on preventive care and excellent medical training of doctors. 
  • Health care through the Cuban National Health System (SNS) is free for residents, but special medical facilities and insurance are available for expatriates. 
  • The healthcare system is made up of three levels - primary, secondary and tertiary. 
  • Expats are required to purchase health insurance and cannot simply visit public institutions. For expats, there is an independent system called Servimed with more than 40 clinics for primary and specialty care. 
  • Hospitals and clinics do not accept foreign credit or debit cards. You are required to pay with contact money! 
  • Local Servimed pharmacies are often short of medications (except for medications for endemic diseases), so it may be wiser to bring your own from your home country. But be sure to pay close attention to import regulations. 
  • Psychiatric clinics are few and far between, and getting into them as an expat is difficult. 
  • Call 104 for emergency medical services. Medical evacuation may be required, should the situation be life-threatening.

How does the public health care system work in Cuba?

  • Healthcare is fully socialized and free to Cuban citizens. This applies to both basic care and specialized treatments. 
  • The country has very good doctors, but there can sometimes be a lack of medical equipment, medicine or infrastructure. 
  • You can find outpatient clinics and hospitals all over the country, but urban care is often better than rural areas. 
Back to top

How does the private health care system work in Cuba?

  • Since the revolution by Fidel Castro, the two-part system has been abolished. 
  • So there are actually no private institutions - everything is run by the government. 
  • However, there are Servimed clinics that specially serve expats. Here you will often find better facilities as well. 
Back to top

How is the general practitioner in Cuba arranged?

  • General doctors can be found in the Servimed clinics. 
Back to top

How is the dentist in Cuba arranged?

  • The dental care sector has suffered a lot in Cuba in recent years. 
  • Facilities are often not in good condition and there is a lack of supplies. 

How is the pregnancy, obstetrics & maternity care arranged in Cuba?

  • Most births take place in the hospital or a birthing home. 
  • Much prenatal care is available, including regular checkups, ultrasounds and various tests. 
  • Births take place under the supervision of midwives and gynecologists. 
  • Cesarean sections are performed only when medically necessary. 
  • Abortion is legal and the country has one of the highest Abortion rates in Latin America. 
  • Another great aspect of the system: the government provides free access to contraceptives for locals!

How safe or unsafe is a trip or stay in Cuba?

What should you pay attention to in terms of safely in Cuba?

  • Cuba is relatively safe and there is virtually no crime, although there is a chance of petty crime due to the economic situation.
  • There are some criminal “fake cab drivers,” particularly at the airport and around Old Havana. 
  • Car-related crime occurs in Havana and other tourist spots. Make sure you have a pre-arranged cab and keep doors and windows closed. 
  • Political activities or criticism of the government should be avoided as a foreigner. 
  • Do not take pictures in military zones or other closed areas. This can be seen as spying! 
  • Be sure to exchange money only at official Cadeca exchange offices. If you exchange your money anywhere else, you risk being fined or even imprisoned. 
  • From June to November is hurricane season in Cuba. During this season, floods and landslides are common. There may also be no electricity or water for a while after a hurricane. 

What should you pay attention to in terms of diseases in Cuba?

  • Some mosquito-borne diseases are common in Cuba. 
  • Drinking tap water is not recommended. 

What should you pay attention to in terms of traffic in Cuba?

  • Many means of transportation are not well maintained, streets are often poorly lit and poorly marked. 
  • Avoid driving at night because of the poor roads, the risk of crossing animals and people driving without lights.
  • Public transportation is often limited and very crowded. Cabs and rental cars are usually a more convenient option.

Which work and travel insurance policies are suitable for short and long stays in Cuba?

  • Is the trip to Cuba and your return sufficiently covered? Are you sufficiently covered before, during and after your activities? Which insurance best suits your trip and your activity? Read more about insurances for abroad on JoHoinsurances.org.
Back to top

What emigration and expat insurance can you take out for Cuba if you are going to live there for a while?

  • It is mandatory to have your own international health insurance before entering Cuba. Read more about insurances for abroad on Expatinsurances.org.

What to bring to Cuba: highlighted

Highlighted items:

  • Documents: passport valid for at least 6 months after arrival, visa and ESTA if you are traveling via the US. Proof of travel insurance, proof of exit and booking confirmation of your place of residence may also be required.
  • Money: bring euros or dollars. In Cuba you can exchange them for Cuban pesos.
  • Care: sunscreen is often scarce and expensive, so bringing your own with a high factor is handy.
  • Outdoor and conveniences: sunglasses for the sun and a raincoat for the rainy season.
  • Clothing: light and breathable clothing because it is often tropically warm.
  • Shoes: comfortable walking shoes in any case!
  • Medicines and travel kit: a small first aid kit with what you think you need, because pharmacies often have little stock.
  • Technology and equipment: world plug type A/B, the same as in the US.
  • Women: menstrual products can be hard to find, so bring your prefered products. 

What else can you bring:

  • Hygiene wipes/tissues because you don't always find soap or toilet paper in public places.
  • Power bank for when the power goes out.
  • Ereader or games for the evenings offline.
  • Reusable water bottle with filter.

  • It is best to bring your own substance of choice.
Back to top

  • Casa particulares (guesthouses) often offer breakfast and dinner – and that is usually tastier than in restaurants.
  • Markets have vegetables, fruit, bread, eggs, and occasionally fish or chicken.
  • Restaurants (paladares) are often small-scale – you will find gems and disappointments.
  • Supermarkets are limited and unpredictable in terms of selection. Don't expect luxury.

  • Buy? Absolutely. Rum is cheap and available everywhere, beer is also available, but wine is harder to find.
  • You are allowed to bring three bottles of alcohol, but always check the latest updates.

    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
