Ask your GP or a doctor in a travel clinic for advice well in advance of your departure.
Are you travelling to a malaria area?

- Take preventive malaria tablets if recommended, even if your family or friends that live locally do not take these tablets and start before departure.
- Take into consideration that malaria treatment may not be reliable in some countries.

Eat only foods that have been safely prepared and do not drink unpurified water.
Safe sex
Always use condoms during sexual contact with a new partner.
Country with tuberculosis?
If you have been in close contact with individuals who had a cough in a country where tuberculosis is common, have a tuberculosis test performed two to three months after you return.
In case of symptoms
Seek medical advice if you suffer any symptoms.
