Why Travel Medicine?

International travel continues to expand every year. Not only are people travelling to areas not frequently visited in the past, they are also travelling for many reasons other than tourism.

Travelling to regions with developing economies and tropical environments presents potential health risks to the international traveller, including potential exposures to exotic diseases and exacerbation of chronic health conditions.

Travel medicine aims to provide a comprehensive medical assessment of the potential health risks associated with your trip and to provide information, advice, vaccinations and medications to help you reduce these risks.
