Pre-Travel Medical Consultation: What you need to know
Our dedicated travel medical specialists offer pre-travel medical consultations tailored to your individual travel plan. During our pre-travel medical consultation we will:
Assess your individual risk
Identify any health concerns
Provide advice to mitigate risk
Answer your questions
Administer vaccinations and medication (if necessary)
The most common vaccinations and medicines, especially for Africa, Asia, and South America, include malaria prophylaxis and Yellow fever vaccinations.
Please note: Consultations and prescriptions for persons not present can ONLY be carried out for children up to 12 years of age.
Preparing for your appointment
Note about group size:
The appointment time varies based on group size (the larger the group, the longer the appointment will be). If you book the wrong appointment type for your group (ie if you are a family of four and book an appointment for a single person) then we will have to reschedule your appointment. For group appointments, the total consultation time is divided among the group members.
When to book:
We recommend booking your consultation 6-8 weeks before your planned travel.
What to bring:
Your Swiss health insurance card,
travel details,
allergy and/or medication list
and all of your vaccination booklets.
