| International travel has been and will
continue to be on the rise.
Travel provides the rich opportunity
to experience
first hand very diverse cultures and lifestyles. It can
also provide a clear understanding of the economic disparities that
exist
worldwide.
With increased travel comes increased exposure to travel related
illness, ranging from traveler’s diarrhea to malaria, as
well as routine illnesses such as colds and urinary tract infections.
Pre-travel consultation allows time to
assess your particular itinerary within the context of your present health
status and develop a plan that will minimize your risk of significant
illness. This
includes but is not limited to recommended immunizations, prescription medication,
and advice with regard to other preventive measures (water purifiers, bed
nets,
etc.)
