If you are going on a trip


You have planned a trip, or you have a business trip to the country, about which you have information obtained from the school textbook on geography and the telecast "The Club of travelers". The terms of departure and stay in this country were determined. One of the first things you need to do is to see a doctor. Do not postpone this visit, tk. There may be obstacles to your trip, which you do not even suspect. A medical examination, the volume of which your doctor will determine, several months before departure will help to identify contraindications for the upcoming vaccinations, as well as chronic diseases that can worsen in some climatic zones. In addition, a number of chronic diseases are a direct contraindication to travel to certain regions of the globe. This you must know in advance.
The possibilities of providing medical care to patients, the availability of doctors and medical institutions in each country are different. When leaving for a tourist trip, you should inquire about the conditions of medical insurance, which usually provides a travel agency. As a rule, this insurance for the duration of the trip provides for the possibility of providing medical assistance on urgent indications, all other cases will have to be paid to you. Do not forget about medical coverage during the trip.
Advance access to a doctor and a number of specific preventive measures will avoid delaying the trip for medical reasons. After a vaccination against an infectious disease, a certain time must elapse before the antibodies of protection are developed. It is necessary to know that several vaccinations can not be combined at the same time.
Vaccination should be conducted in accordance with the endemic nature of the region.
Thus, with a late referral to a doctor, you will not have enough time to prepare yourself and arrange the necessary medical documents for traveling to countries with a hot dry or hot humid climate.
