About Travel Related Medical Advice

More individuals are traveling internationally now than ever before. International travel can lead to wonderful new experiences and lasting memories. Unfortunately, travel can also lead to health problems that range in severity from unpleasant to life threatening.

Travel-related health problems arise from a variety of factors, including exposure to infectious organisms, the use of certain types of transportation, and participation in certain activities, such as diving and high-altitude hiking during travel. Travel-related health problems can also arise when a pre-existing medical condition worsens during travel.

Fortunately, most travel-related health problems can be prevented with a combination of pretravel planning, immunizations, and safety precautions during travel. We at D care specialize in travel related healthcare. So, If you are planning travel outside of your home country, consult our physician at Dcare at least one month prior to traveling. We can provide immunizations, travel medications, and tips for staying healthy during the trip or may recommend a specialized travel medicine for some or all of these immunizations, medications, and advice.

Once our physician has assessed your travel plans and overall health, he or she can provide information about the health risks that could be encountered and can give advice for minimizing these risks.

The visit will also provide an opportunity to discuss the specific details of travel. This information is necessary to formulate individualized travel-related medical advice:

  • Duration of travel
  • Season of travel
  • Countries and regions that will be visited
  • Planned activities during travel
  • Place of residence during travel (for example, a modern hotel, rural home, campground)
  • Testimonials
