Some health considerations for women travelling in the region:
»
Condoms should be checked before use as they crack in the hot climate.
»
The
International Planned Parent Federation
(
www.ippf.org
)
can advise about the availability of contraception in
each Peninsula country.
»
Tampons are not always available outside the major cities in the Peninsula; sanitary towels are more widespread.
»
High standards of obstetric and antenatal facilities are offered throughout the Peninsula (though less so in Yemen),
particularly in the larger cities.
