WHY GET SPECIALIST MEDICAL ADVICE?

The following are just a few of the important questions for all intending travellers. Globe Medical doctors are very experienced in health issues related to travel and will help you answer them.

• How can I reduce the risk of the most common travel health problem, traveller’s diarrhoea? What medications should I carry in the event of illness?
• What do I know about diseases transmitted by mosquitoes e.g. malaria, dengue fever or Japanese encephalitis? Does my itinerary put me at risk?
• Am I at increased risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)? What precautions should I take?
• How can I reduce the effect of jet lag on my stay?
• My routine immunizations are current…but are there any recommended or required immunizations?

For those planning a long overseas stay…be it for work, study or pleasure… don’t leave your health care until the last minute. On the other hand, if you have left it a bit late, late is better than never.
