Medical insurance that covers medical evacuation is advised. Medical facilities are of a high standard and many doctors are Western-trained. Emergency telephone numbers: ambulance - 991; police - 993; fire brigade - 995.
Food is generally safe to eat but raw or undercooked dishes should be avoided. Although tap water in most parts of the country conforms to World Health Organization standards, some embassies advise drinking only boiled or bottled water, which is cheap and widely available.
Mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis may occur so protection against mosquito bites is recommended. From July to October, forest fires in Indonesia sometime blanket Brunei with haze, causing health problems for some travellers.
