Pharmacy

There are several pharmacies located in the city centre, but for most tourists who are staying in one of the resorts or hotels along the beach near the touristic zone, Pharmacie Souani is probably the easiest to get to. The Tunisian healthcare system is one of the best in Africa and most pharmacies have an extensive list of medications in stock. That being said, for complicated medical conditions it may be necessary to go to Sfax or Tunis.
