Overview

Travellers in Brazil can access a variety of basic healthcare services at many pharmacies across the country. These services commonly include blood pressure and glucose checks, guidance from licensed pharmacists, and in many locations, private consultation rooms for more personalised care. In addition, several pharmacies offer bioimpedance testing (to assess body composition), application of Libre sensors for continuous glucose monitoring, and administration of injectable medications. These services are typically performed by trained healthcare professionals on-site. It is important to note that while these services are convenient and widely available, costs will vary depending on the service and location. Travellers should inquire directly at the pharmacy regarding availability, pricing, and accepted payment methods. These pharmacy-based services provide a practical, efficient option for attending to non-urgent health needs while in Brazil, without the need for a hospital or clinic visit. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that best fits your situation.
