An
Interactive Travel Site that can design customised lists of travel
medicine requirements for individuals or groups of any size.
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.
These 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.
Who are we?
We were originally formed as a partnership
between a full time doctor and a pharmacist based in South
Wales in the UK.
We both have
extensive experience of foreign travel to exotic locations
where we have taken part in various expeditions and adventure
holidays.
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.
There is a good chance, too, that 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.
The Travel Doctor is an interactive
web site that is able to produce personalised lists of travel medicines
for expeditions, global adventure travellers and ordinary holiday
makers.
We also
give advice on immunisations, malaria tablets, general medications
and other forms of health information for all types of traveller.
If you need any advice on travel medicine or other health issues during
your trip, you can log on to this site and use it to retrieve any
relevant information you may require.
You can
either browse this site using the navigation bars like the one in
the left hand column or you can use the search facility below to locate
the information you require:
Click
on a region of the map below for a list of countries in that
region
then select a country from the list to find out which vaccinations
and malaria tablets would be required for travel there.
