A travel clinic provides information about the diseases that one may acquire while travelling. It equips a person with all the knowledge required to protect oneself from various diseases and the measures to be undertaken in case he/she falls ill during the journey.
Why Consult A Travel Clinic?
There are various diseases that might affect the health while travelling. Some of these are motion sickness, jet lag, traveller’s diarrhoea, heatstroke, altitude-related illnesses, malaria (especially during travel to Africa, South America and the Far East) and yellow fever (Africa, South America). The ideal time for a consultation would be 4-6 weeks prior to the trip, as vaccines and medicines should be taken well in advance. However, even if a trip is planned on a short notice, one should still visit the travel clinic as he/she can still benefit from the vaccines and medicines.
