BHI Travel Health Cork
Services: Post-travel consultation
BHI offers post-travel health checks for returned travellers. A significant number of international travellers have travel-related illnesses. Most of these illnesses are mild but 1 to 5% of travellers become sick enough to seek medical care. Adventure travellers, people visiting friends or relatives, and people with underlying immune-compromised status are at increased risk.
It is advisable to have a medical examination on returning from the trip if you become unwell once you have returned, particularly if you experience any of the following symtoms:
- fever
- unexplained weight loss
- persistent headaches
- diarrhea
- bloody stools
- vomiting
- jaundice
- skin diseases
- genital infections
