Traveler’s Health and Vaccination

We provide pre- and post-travel health counselling along with any immunization or medications that are needed for overseas travel.

In addition to medical advice about the risk of travel-related infections and diseases, travelers with special circumstances (pregnant women, elderly, immunocompromised individuals) can seek health advice that is specific to their condition. A broad range of travel immunizations and medications prescribed for the prevention of malaria and the treatment of travel-associated conditions such as diarrhea are available.

Our specialists also offer consultations for returning travelers. Screening tests for travel-related infections may be offered, depending on the exposure history and any symptoms that the traveler might have.
