Publisher's Synopsis
This practical handbook for doctors aims to put an end to conflicting advice on health matters for those who travel overseas for business or pleasure. It offers advice on the precautions the travellers themselves need to take to avoid health risks before and during their travel, and draws together previously published advice issued by the Department of Health to travellers and those advising them on health matters. Areas covered include food and water hygiene, vaccines, safer sex, preventing malaria and travel with children.
