For an Emergency (Tahiti) dial 15

SOS Medecins 42-34-56

Medical facilities (hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies) are good on Tahiti and the other major islands, but they are more limited in the more remote and less populated islands. You should be able to find a pharmacy or clinic for basic medical care on most islands, but for anything more serious, you will need to be evacuated to one of the main islands or to a regional center.

The fee for a medical consultation is about 3000 CFP, although this can go as high as 7000 CFP at night or on Sunday; fees are less at Mamao public hospital. French visitors can get the fee refunded when they return home through a reciprocal agreement; citizens of the EU should obtain a form E111 before leaving home.
