The saying “accidents happen in the blink of an eye” certainly applies during vacation as well. Because you’re on vacation and want to relax, you might be less careful. “I’m on vacation, the sun is shining: what could happen to me?\u201d might consciously or unconsciously be the attitude with which you’re enjoying your holiday. But then suddenly disaster strikes. You step on a prickly sea urchin, get stung by a jellyfish while swimming, fall asleep on the beach bed in the sun and get badly sunburned, or an unfortunate fall resulting in a fracture or whatever else may happen. Even during a vacation, you don’t ask for it, but you might suddenly need medical care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

General Practitioner (GP)? First Aid?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you need medical care as a tourist, it is usually a new world you have to explore in an unfamiliar country. Can you go to the hospital’s emergency room with your complaint, or is it more appropriate for a family doctor\/GP? But then where do you find a family doctor you can go to? And what about the costs, is it all insured? A lot of extra questions that you don\u2019t want amidst the stress of a medical emergency. Fortunately, Cura\u00e7ao has a great solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
