Durante la pianificazione di una vacanza è sempre importante documentarsi in anticipo sulla disponibilità di buone strutture sanitarie in caso di malattie o incidenti. Coloro che hanno a cuore le questioni di salute possono stare tranquilli quando prendono in considerazione Aruba. L’Aeroporto Internazionale Reina Beatrix di Aruba è conforme agli standard ADA.
Molti alberghi sono anche predisposti ad ospitare viaggiatori affetti da disabilità. In aggiunta, attraverso le aziende locali di forniture sanitarie è possibile noleggiare una vasta gamma di prodotti sanitari, come carrozzine (sia standard, che elettriche), deambulatori, stampelle, padelle, concentratori e scooter.
Aruba è ben attrezzata per gestire praticamente qualsiasi tipo di problema medico. In casi straordinari in cui i servizi medici dell’isola non fossero in grado di affrontare emergenze di un certo tipo, il paziente può essere rapidamente elitrasportato in strutture vicine (come ad es. quelle di Curacao).
