What about health care and immunizations?
You will be traveling in a civilized, built up area. Your doctor may suggest all kinds of vaccinations for traveling in the jungle. Please impress upon your provider that you are staying in nice resorts and eating at good restaurants and discuss the question. If you will be trying to attend a birth after the workshop (see registration form) you are required to have Hepatitis B shots. We also strongly recommend tetanus and rabies, as both are common problems in Bali.
There are plenty of international medical clinics near the clinic. These clinics usually do not accept health insurance, but they do not cost much. Should you need specialized care in an emergency, you would be evacuated to Singapore. We strongly recommend you purchase travel insurance to cover this type of expense.
