Health
Due in part to its dryness and relative isolation, your chances of getting seriously ill with a
virus or other infectious disease in Iran are fairly small.
The most common reason for travellers needing medical help is as a result of accidents.
If you are unfortunate enough to need a hospital, Iran is home to some of the best in the
Middle East. Many doctors have been trained in Europe or North America and, especially
in the larger cities, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one who speaks English.
In remoter areas, medical facilities are more basic.
