Although one of the smaller countries in Africa, Burundi is home to a diverse landscape of mountains and lakes. However, due to many years of ethnic conflicts, theft and violent crimes are a high risk to travelers and expatriates visiting Burundi. After a cease-fire between the government and the last remaining opposition group in 2006, Burundi has been undergoing social and political reconstruction.

Healthcare in Burundi

In its present state, Burundi is resource-poor and deprived of most basic healthcare requirements. Malaria remains the main cause of illness and death in the country along with HIV/AIDS. The country simply does not have adequate care in most hospitals and when available are only at a high cost. Expatriates are able to be served by a few clinics and hospitals in the capital city Bujumbura. Expatriates will want to travel or be evacuated if they suffer a major illness or injury.
