Information on Sending Money to Honduras

____________________

We remind all U.S. citizens traveling and living in Honduras that medical care in Honduras varies greatly in quality and availability. Outside of the two major cities of Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, medical care is inadequate to address complex situations. Support staff facilities and necessary equipment and supplies are not up to U.S. standards anywhere in Honduras, and facilities for advanced surgical procedures are not available.

Wide areas of the country, including the popular tourist areas of the Bay Islands, do not have a general surgery hospital. Ambulance services are limited in major cities and almost non-existent elsewhere. Emergency services may be contacted directly through their local numbers, including 911 for the national emergency line, and 195 for the local Red Cross.
