A travel clinic provides information about the diseases that you may acquire while travelling. It equips you with all the knowledge required to protect yourself from various diseases and the measures to be undertaken in case you fall ill during your journey.

Every trip exposes you to the risk of acquiring various diseases. And the risk depends on the person’s age/health status, the mode of travel, the destination, the duration of stay, type of accommodation and purpose of travel. But observing certain precautions and taking appropriate medicines and vaccines can prevent you from falling sick.

There are various diseases that might affect your health while travelling. Some of these are motion sickness, jet lag, traveller’s diarrhoea, heatstroke, altitude-related illnesses, malaria (especially during travel to Africa, South America and the Far East) and yellow fever (Africa, South America).

The ideal time would be 4-6 weeks prior to your trip, as vaccines and medicines need to be taken well in advance.  However, even if you plan a trip on short notice, you should still visit the travel clinic as you can still benefit from the vaccines and medicines.
