When preparing for a travel health consultation, it’s important to gather the necessary information and items to make the most of your appointment. Here’s a checklist of what you should bring:

  1. Travel Itinerary: Provide details about your travel plans, including destinations, duration of stay, and planned activities.
  2. Medical History: Bring information about your past medical conditions, surgeries, allergies, and current medications.
  3. Vaccination Records: If you have any vaccination records, bring them along. This can help determine which vaccines you may need for your trip.
  4. Current Medications: Make a list of any medications you’re currently taking, including dosage and frequency.

By bringing all of this information to your travel health consultation, you’ll help your healthcare provider assess your needs and provide you with appropriate recommendations and interventions to ensure a safe and healthy trip.

A travel health consultation typically lasts between 15 to 60 minutes. During this time, the healthcare provider will discuss your travel plans, review your medical history, provide recommendations for vaccinations and medications, and offer advice on staying healthy during your trip. Book your consultation now.

Yes, we provide vaccinations for travelers visiting both routine and exotic destinations, including popular travel destinations in Europe and North America. While some destinations may not require specific vaccinations, it’s essential to ensure that your routine vaccinations, such as measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap), and influenza, are up to date before traveling.

Additionally, depending on your destination and individual health factors, you may require certain travel-specific vaccinations or preventive measures to protect against diseases that are prevalent in certain regions. During your travel health consultation at our clinic, our healthcare professionals will review your itinerary and medical history to determine which vaccinations are recommended or required for your trip.

We are committed to providing comprehensive and personalized travel health services to ensure that you have a safe and healthy journey, regardless of your destination. If you have any questions about vaccinations or would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us. We’re here to help you prepare for your travels and protect your health abroad.

We recommend scheduling your travel health consultation as early as possible, ideally 4-6 weeks before your planned departure date. This timeframe allows sufficient time for our healthcare professionals to assess your travel itinerary, review your medical history, and administer any necessary vaccinations or medications.

Scheduling your consultation well in advance ensures that you have ample time to complete any required vaccination schedules, as some vaccines may require multiple doses administered over several weeks or months for optimal effectiveness.

However, if you have last-minute travel plans or are unable to schedule a consultation several weeks in advance, we still encourage you to contact us. Our team will do our best to accommodate your needs and provide you with the necessary recommendations and services to help you stay healthy during your travels. Book Now

Experiencing a health issue while traveling can be concerning, but here are some steps you can take to manage the situation:

Stay Calm: Try to remain calm and assess the situation. Panicking can make things worse.
Evaluate the Severity: Determine how serious the health issue is. Is it something you can manage yourself, or does it require immediate medical attention?

Contact Your Travel Insurance Provider: If you have travel insurance, contact your provider as soon as possible. They can guide you on what to do next and may cover medical expenses depending on your policy.

Contact Your Embassy or Consulate: If you’re in a foreign country and require assistance, contact your embassy or consulate. They can provide support and help you navigate local healthcare systems.

Inform Someone: Let someone know about your situation, especially if you’re traveling alone. Keep a trusted friend or family member informed about your location and what’s happening.

Follow Medical Advice: Once you’ve received medical attention, follow the advice of healthcare professionals. This may include taking prescribed medication, getting rest, or following certain precautions.

Keep Important Documents Handy: Make sure you have essential documents such as your passport, travel insurance details, and any medical records with you when seeking medical help.

Stay Hydrated and Rest: If your health issue isn’t severe but still requires attention, ensure you stay hydrated, get enough rest, and avoid strenuous activities until you feel better.

Preventive Measures: Take steps to prevent health issues while traveling, such as staying hydrated, eating safely, getting enough sleep, and practicing good hygiene.

Remember, it’s always better to be cautious and seek medical help if you’re unsure about your health while traveling.
