Pre-Travel Advice

Pre-Travel Medical Support

Whether you’re preparing to travel abroad with the family, have concerns about visiting a faraway region or are planning a trip around the world, your travel preparations are crucial. That’s why our dedicated team delivers scientifically sound advice, vaccinations and information tailored to each country on your itinerary. So you can travel with peace of mind, knowing that you’re protected from malaria, yellow fever and a host of other potential risks.

Pre-Travel Advice: What you need to know

Our dedicated travel medical specialists offer pre-travel consultations tailored to your individual travel plan. During our pre-travel 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.

Price

To provide you with adequate advice, our typical travel consultation lasts an average of 25 minutes per person. For this, we charge a fee of 80 CHF per person.

If the appointment lasts significantly shorter or longer than average, the fee varies from CHF 55 (short) to CHF 105+ (long), depending on the length of the consultation.

Please note: Consultations and prescriptions for persons not present can ONLY be carried out for children below the age of 12.

Groups
For groups, the total consultation time is divided among the group members. The minimum fee per group member is CHF 55.

Families
We enjoy doing consultations for families and understand that children's needs are different from their parents. That is why we offer a children's flat fee of 30 CHF for reviewing a child's vaccination book and advice, which takes place as part of a family travel consultation appointment.

Additional costs
In addition to the consultation fee, we may recommend that you get vaccinated or take a medication before or during your trip. If vaccination is necessary, a one-time injection fee of 9 CHF per person will be added to the bill for your visit.

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.
