Local Care and Online Consultations in Tunisia
Local private care and a video consultation are arranged and paid for differently. FCDO's guidance on local care is short, and worth knowing before you need it.
What FCDO says about local care
- there is no provision for free medical attention for foreign nationals
- doctors' fees, medication and private clinic treatment are paid on the spot, sometimes before treatment
- these costs can be high
- have adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds
If you are referred to a medical facility for treatment, FCDO says to contact your insurance company quickly.
What a Pomodoc consultation is
- a video consultation with a doctor, in English
- a fixed €40, shown before you start
- a doctor's view on whether you need to be seen in person
- separate from insurance, medication and any in-person care
Pomodoc offers a fixed €40 online consultation with an English-speaking doctor, wherever you are in Tunisia.
If the doctor thinks you need to be seen in person, they will tell you.

More About Online Doctors in Tunisia
Paying for care in Tunisia
Local private healthcare in Tunisia may involve paying directly. FCDO says there is no provision for free medical attention for foreign nationals, that doctors' fees, medication and treatment in private clinics are paid on the spot (sometimes before treatment), and that these costs can be high.
FCDO's advice is to have adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds to cover treatment and repatriation. Pomodoc offers a fixed €40 online consultation; it is not insurance, and medication or any in-person care you go on to need are separate.
Bringing prescription medicines into Tunisia
FCDO advises keeping prescription medicines in their original packaging and carrying a note from your GP confirming they were prescribed to you.
If you have specific concerns about taking a particular medicine to Tunisia, FCDO suggests contacting the Tunisian embassy before you travel.
Language
Arabic is Tunisia's official language and French is widely used. FCDO keeps a list of medical providers in Tunisia where some staff will speak some English.
