Staying healthy while travelling

C Pugh et al. Aust Fam Physician. 1994 Sep.

Abstract

By ensuring that the issues raised in this article are appropriately discussed with each traveller at the pre-travel consultation, the chance of staying healthy while travelling is considerably enhanced. If all else fails, the traveller should be well equipped with a first aid medical kit (Table 2) and instructions on how and when to take medications. They should know how to treat travellers diarrhoea, recognise signs and symptoms of malaria and the difference between a bacterial infection and viral infection. Bon voyage!
