As
more and more people travel to distant parts of the world,
there is an increased chance of them coming into contact and
even contracting diseases rarely seen in other more developed
countries.
Such travellers should therefore be prepared for such risks,
and seek appropriate advice about their health before they
venture abroad.
The Travel Doctor is here to
help and advise these travellers look after their health before,
during and after such a trip.
One of the most worrisome problems facing international travellers
nowadays is how to deal with illness or other health emergencies
in a foreign country.
The
traveller not only has to cope with foreign languages and
customs but with different food, water, climate, altitude
and other environmental hazards.
Also, in all probability the traveller's own immunity does
not match the local foreign environment.
Furthermore, increasing numbers of vulnerable travellers,
including older people, pregnant women, young children and
those with complex medical problems, are going to more adventurous
or remote destinations.
We also give advice on immunisations, malaria tablets, general
medications and other forms of health information for all
types of traveller.
