While Socotra is not a malaria region, there are some mosquitoes in some places, so a malaria prophylactic is recommended.  Cholera is not present on the island at all.  Drink only bottled mineral water; it’s readily available in Hadibo and Qalansiya.  Consult your doctor and dentist or travel health clinic for advice and preventive measures.  The hospitals on the Island offer less than adequate service.  Pharmacies are presented around Hadibo,
