It is very easy to find a doctor in Cuba. If you have any health problem that requires a specific medicine, we suggest that you bring with you because the standards of the Cuban drug for the treatment of you affection might not match the standards of the one you physician prescribed to you in your country.

No, there are no poisoning animals like snakes or spiders that may kill a person although there are insects and others that their bites may cause affections like allergic reactions, fever, itching or the swelling of the affected area of the body.

The most common system voltage found in Cuba is 110 volts although some hotels have a dual system and they indicate in which outlet they have 220 volts, we consider advisable to ask if the outlet is 110 or 220 volts before plugging any device in. It is recommended to bring with you a flat pin adaptor for the connection of any device you may bring with you.
You may bring any currency but you will be requested to pay with CUC ( Cuban Convertible Pesos) for any services that you receive in Cuban Territory. Although most of the foreign currencies are accepted they are only accepted in Banks Hotel Desks or Currency Exchange Houses (CADECA) so you will need to exchange your money into CUC. We suggest that you bring either GBP, EUROS or US dollars or any other well know hard currency and it will be better if you would use small nominations like 5´s, 10´s and 20´s rather that 50´s or 100´s for which they may ask for your passport at certain places before accepting them for exchange. Mayor credit cards like Visa or MasterCard are also accepted as well as traveler cheques. Credit cards or cheques issued by US banks will not be accepted in most of the Cuban banks.
