Health Consultations
Although
many travellers know that going to certain destinations—even
for a brief vacation—can pose serious health risks,
most do not realize that a range of preventive measures
can be taken to avoid the challenges associated with
travel-related illness.
Medisys offers customized pre-travel consultations
to ensure that your trip is not derailed by preventable
health risks, and post-travel consultations to assess
any changes to your state of health upon return.
Benefiting from the most up-to-date knowledge of
world health issues, our experts are uniquely positioned
to help you safely negotiate even the most challenging
travel-health threats.
Pre-Travel Consultations
Because the health risks associated with travel
vary significantly according to a number of factors
(e.g. destination, length and nature of visit, potential
outbreaks of disease, etc.), pre-travel consultations
are recommended to ensure that travellers are aware
of significant issues that may arise and are provided
with the most effective immunizations, medications
and supplies.
In addition to preparing you for risks related to
diseases spread by water, food and insects, Medisys
provides you with all the skills and tools necessary
to avoid travellers’ maladies such as diarrhea, malaria,
sunstroke and altitude sickness. As well, in the
event of a travel alert (e.g. avian flu), the Medisys
team will ensure that you understand how this situation
affects you and what to do in the event of emergency.
Post-Travel Consultations
Post-travel consultations are effective in documenting
any possible changes to your state of health upon
return. Depending upon the nature of your trip, it
may be necessary to screen for the presence of infections
in order to avoid transmitting the disease(s) to
family, friends and co-workers.
By taking the proper precautions before, during
and after your trip, you can significantly reduce
travel-health risks and improve your chances of returning
home in good health. |
