The Travel Clinic provides nearly 40,000 consultations annually and is Switzerland’s largest center for travel medicine.

Services include travel and vaccination consultations (with a focus on tropical and subtropical regions), care for returning travelers, sexual health services, and on-site diagnostic laboratory testing. The clinic ensures continuity of care across the full travel pathway, from pre-travel preparation to post-travel assessment.

We advise individuals and families, including those with specific needs such as pregnancy, chronic conditions, long-term or work-related travel, and travel to remote regions.

Founded in 1988, the clinic is part of the University of Zurich and is internationally recognized for excellence in travel medicine. It is the only World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Travel Medicine worldwide.

As part of EBPI’s service portfolio, the clinic contributes to public health practice, surveillance, and research infrastructure, while continuing to play a central operational role: it was the first COVID-19 vaccination center in the Canton of Zurich and serves today as the Reference Vaccination Center.

Our clinic is embedded within the University of Zurich’s Department of Public & Global Health (EBPI). Learn more about the Department’s core values and strategic areas of action.

With an experienced team and Prof. med. Jan Fehr, MD, as the Head of the Clinic, we are internationally renowned for maintaining the highest medical standards and using the most modern facilities and equipment.

Whether you are traveling for a trip around the world or just a few days, whether you are traveling for business or academic purposes, whether you are visiting family and relatives or on holiday – we offer appointment types and specific recommendations based on your location and needs.

Whether you're travelling on safari or to the Arctic, we'll help you get the most out of your trip by providing you with the most up-to-date information on everything from malaria prevention to protection from mosquitoes and ticks.

Our team comes from all walks of life, offering multilingual support in German, English, French, Italian and Spanish to promote clear communication during your visit.

Our slogan is: prevention is care and care is prevention. We use each travel advice session and routine vaccination check as an opportunity to review our clients vaccination status and to find any gaps in vaccination coverage. Our vaccination research helps to inform cantonal and national vaccination guidelines and informs our preventative services.
