Holidays by Destination Europe Portugal Madeira Health 

Because of the southerly latitudes, the sun can burn, despite moderate temperatures. Otherwise Madeira should be a safe destination with tap water reliable for example, though as usual, medical insurance is advisable, if only because travelling with children. Only on Porto Santo is bottled water advisable.

If you have a minor problem a local farmacia should be able to help. Otherwise most doctors speak some English and hospitals are used to dealing with tourists - though usually the older sort.
