If you decided to spend your holiday in Boa vista, you should know there are no risks for your health or prohibitions, for you and for your children. Preventive health treatments are not necessary.
In the islands of Cape Verde there are good hospitals in Sào Vincente, Santiago and Boa vista - where a clinic has been built - and the pharmacies are numerous and well furnished. Generally, if you are on holiday, the tourist resorts have also emergency rooms to deal with accidents.

In case of emergency, the medical prescription is not essential to buy drugs: antibiotics and medicines are easily available.
