Comprehensive travel insurance is recommended. There is one government hospital (on Rarotonga).

Food and drink: 

Tap water is relatively safe but may cause mild abdominal upsets. Bottled water is available and is advised for the first few weeks of the stay.

Other risks: 

Vaccination against hepatitis B and tuberculosis is sometimes advised. There is no defence against dengue fever other than avoiding being bitten by mosquitoes.
