Travel Medicine

Journeys to other continents have become an important part of our lifestyle. It is important to recognize that climate change has increased the risk of dangerous infections. The level of health care provided in countries outside central Europe is lower.

It is of importance to inform yourself ahead of your journey about the country and the region your family is traveling to. In order to decrease the risk of a life threatening infection you need to make sure all immunizations are up to date and check if there is any additional immunization for a particular disease, which is recommended during your stay. Additional intake of prophylactic medication maybe needed, e.g. with Malaria.
