Travel health

In the UK, people travelling for both business and leisure make over 59 million overseas journeys every year.  While many of us enjoy visiting different countries it is easy to forget that many places do not have the same easy access to medical facilities and treatments as the UK.

It is important to be prepared before travelling overseas, be aware of the risks, and protect yourself as much as possible.  Most importantly, you should know:

• how to avoid becoming ill when abroad,
• what to do if you do become ill overseas, and
• how to get emergency medical treatment when you are overseas.

• Facts
• Prevention
• Treatment
• Getting help
