U.S. State Department: Lesotho at Level 2, Exercise Increased Caution

The U.S. Department of State has issued a Level 2 "Exercise Increased Caution" advisory for Lesotho, citing crime and health. Crime is common in Lesotho, with armed robberies and carjackings occurring from time to time, and local police may not have enough resources to respond quickly. Lesotho's health infrastructure is inadequate; health facilities, services, hygiene, and quality control do not meet U.S. standards of care, and pharmacies are neither well-regulated nor well stocked, with locally available medications potentially unsafe. Travelers have the option to enter South Africa for health services.

Impact and considerations
Lesotho's limited health and security conditions may affect the health coverage and safety risk management of staff travelling there, particularly business travellers requiring medical evacuation or ongoing medication.
