What does a Travel Medicine doctor do?

A Travel Medicine doctor is a specialist who helps patients prepare health-wise for international trips, particularly to countries with different climatic and sanitary-epidemiological conditions. The role of a Travel Medicine doctor is to assess health risks associated with travel, provide information on diseases prevalent in a specific region, and recommend appropriate preventive measures, such as "tropical vaccinations" and prophylaxis, e.g., anti-malaria treatment.

A Travel Medicine doctor offers advice on topics such as food hygiene, protection against insect bites, and health issues related to extreme sports. During a consultation, the doctor may also issue prescriptions for necessary medications for the trip and prepare a personalised health prevention plan tailored to the specifics of the journey and the patient's health condition.

"Tropical Vaccinations" Warsaw - is it worth getting them?

Definitely. Vaccinations before travelling to tropical countries in Africa, South America, or Asia are a crucial element of health prevention. Tropical regions carry the risk of contracting various infectious diseases that can be difficult to diagnose and treat and may lead to serious complications.

It is important to remember that many countries require proof of vaccination through an international certificate before entering their territory!

How long before travel should one get vaccinated against tropical diseases?

Vaccinations before travelling to tropical regions should be started well in advance, ideally 2-3 months before the planned trip. This is because some vaccinations require multiple doses at specified intervals to ensure proper protection.

It is advisable to consult a Travel Medicine doctor who can help establish an individual vaccination schedule tailored to the specific destination and the patient’s health condition.

Where to tet vaccinations before travelling to tropical countries?

Vaccinations before travelling to tropical countries should be administered at specialised Travel Medicine centres that offer comprehensive health care for travellers. Our OrtoGo Medical Centre is one such certified facility.
