In French Polynesia, medical infrastructure and care are of a high standard.
The most modern facilities are located in Tahiti and concentrated in Papeete. Public hospitals are also available in each archipelago.

In case of emergency, doctors, dentists and paramedical services are available on all the main islands 24/7.
In the event of a serious accident, medical evacuations are organized by the Centre Hospitalier de Polynésie Française, with logistical support from local airlines and French army planes and helicopters based in Papeete. Coordination is organized between these private and public services to ensure 24/7 medical availability.

Safety in Tahiti and the islands:
There are no particular safety issues to be noted in Polynesia, apart from the usual advice of caution, which would apply just as much here as on the Champs Elysées or in Time Square.
