Travel Medicine is an area of medical intervention that aims to provide information on preventive (or curative) measures to adopt before, during and after travel, depending on the destination, the trip and the person traveling.

The consultation will provide a personalized assessment of the health risks associated with travel and the main health problems that should be avoided, taking into account factors such as climate, endemic diseases and other potential risks.

What you can expect from the consultation:

  • Prescribing vaccinations to ensure immunization and safety for travelers;
  • Prescription of preventive medication appropriate to the destination;
  • Specific advice on hygiene care;
  • Advice on the precautions to be taken when consuming water or food;
  • Guidance on protection measures against mosquitoes or other disease vectors in the destination.

What to bring to the consultation:

  • Individual health bulletin/vaccines;
  • International vaccination certificate (if you have one);
  • Identification document;
  • Travel itinerary (including locations, planned activities and travel dates).
