The Little Book

Every traveller who visits us receives a complimentary copy of The Little Book, our highly regarded travel health publication. The Little Book, written by Dr Bob Kass and Dr Maggie Phillips, is about staying healthy when travelling. It is a comprehensive summary of the main topics relevant to international travel health. The Little Book provides a valuable "in the pocket" resource for your travels. It provides information about vaccinations, anti-malarial medication, the use of medications and travel health products as well as extensive coverage on eating and drinking safely, vector-borne disease eg malaria, dengue fever and how to best manage common travel-health problems if they arise.

Medical Kits for travellers

We have designed a range of medical kits to meet the requirements of all types of trips. The content of each kit is based on extensive knowledge of the health issues travellers face while away. Our medical kits allow travellers to self-manage common health problems such as allergy, cuts and scratches, diarrhoea, upper respiratory tract infections, motion sickness, altitude, pain and skin problems. A list of "extra" considerations can be found in The Little Book.
