nearly everything but the kitchen sink just to be safe esp. if any problems at night so you dont have to worry about finding apotek during the night. We have never neede anything but gives you peace of mind and for a smaall outlay i think worth it. Liquid panadol or similar, aqua ear for before swimming esp. if smaller busier pool,gastolyte sachets for rehydration if sick,elastolast large pieces the old stle thats really sticky great for shopping blisters and stays on in the pool,burn or aftersun cream although the prevenative hat and sunblock are better also if girls dont forget on their heads if they get braids,pink rid rollon dont let them get it on their hands though this is more nec. if theres dengue fever around or any still water but never seen many mozzies, betadine swab sticks if you can just buy a couple, we also took antis which dr suggest but personal choice.small bottle of aqium gel used in hospitals to stop spread of infection contains alcohol but you dont need water. One Important thing KEEP tissues and wipes in all your bags backpacks etc for the shortage in the toilets just in case.
We didnt have any special inject. some people imeet over there had to have tetanus inj there after accidents ie jumping off the concrete near the balihai and landing on rusty wire and the next a very nice man who was carrying a crate/carton of beer walked into his room and slipped on wet floor where i think aircon had leaked landed on smashed beerbottles and consequently had about 30ish stitches in his leg.(how annoying he couldnt go in the pool his whole stay almost)
Hope this helps will have alook if anything else. also write down the BMC phone no to have handy. I take beroccas just in case i can fit an extra 5 mins into the day.....Judi
