Emergencies

If something has been stolen from you, contact your hotel or guesthouse and ask them to help report the theft to the police or phone your embassy, especially regarding more costly items such as expensive jewelry or laptop computers. Contact your embassy if your passport has been stolen or lost.

Pharmacies are found in every town and village and open daily from about 7 to 11:30 and 2 to 8. Most stock a limited range of prescription and nonprescription drugs (including antibiotics), which are available over the counter; always check the expiration date. Outside of these hours and for medical emergencies, seek assistance from local hospitals or clinics, or from your hotel.
