Healthcare in Suva
What to expect if you need medical care
Healthcare in Suva varies in quality. Major cities typically have decent medical facilities, though they may not match what you are used to at home. Rural areas have more limited access. Hospital stays, prescriptions, and emergency treatment can be expensive for foreign visitors without insurance. Some facilities require upfront payment before providing treatment. It is worth noting the nearest hospital or clinic to your accommodation when you arrive.

What Your Policy Should Cover
Country-specific considerations for Suva
Your Suva policy should address the region's activity risks. Water sports including surfing, diving, and snorkeling should be explicitly covered. Hiking and tramping in remote areas requires search and rescue coverage. Marine stings and bites are a risk in tropical waters. If visiting remote islands, confirm medical evacuation coverage as local facilities may be very limited.

How Much Coverage Do You Need?
Our recommendation based on Suva's healthcare costs
The recommended $100,000 coverage reflects both healthcare costs and evacuation distances. Hospital stays in major cities run $500 to $1,500 per day. Medical evacuation from remote islands to Auckland, Sydney, or home can cost $30,000 to $80,000. The vast distances in the Pacific make evacuation coverage critical.

Making a Claim in Suva
Tips for smooth claims processing
Documentation Required: Medical reports, receipts, proof of travel, police report if applicable for theft/accidents
- Keep all medical reports and receipts (recibos) from Spanish healthcare providers, as these are essential for claims processing—documentation requirements are straightforward in Suva
- If you experience theft or accidents requiring police involvement, obtain a 'denuncia' (police report) immediately, as insurers commonly request this documentation
- Save proof of your travel dates, including boarding passes and accommodation confirmations, to support your claim timeline
- Keep all receipts and medical records. If evacuated between islands, document all transport costs separately as these are often the largest claim component
- Claims processing in Suva is generally easy, but submit documentation promptly while details are fresh and all receipts are organized
