Travel Health

With the ease of travel in today's world, travellers are increasingly needing to take necessary precautions for their health and wellbeing when travelling. About 50% of all travellers to developing countries become unwell in some way, and many of those that become unwell are unaware of the risk of disease whilst away. Thus there is a need for health information for all those leaving the comfort of New Zealand for ‘parts foreign’.

All travellers need to be aware of the potential problems and consequences of travel health, and need to receive up-to-date authoritative health advice as well as adequate travel insurance. Travel Essentials compiles country data reports from the volumes of travel, geographical and tropical health information globally available, and primarily seeks out authorities such as:

  • Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
  • Centers for Disease Control ( CDC )
  • Eurosurveillance ( European (European Union surveillance, prevention and control of infectious and communicable diseases )
  • Foreign and Commonwealth Office, United Kingdom
  • International Society of Travel Medicine ( ISTM )
  • International Association of Medical Assistance to Travellers ( IAMAT )
  • London School of Tropical Hygiene and Health
  • National Immunization Information Network ( USA)
  • New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
  • New Zealand Ministry of Health
  • PacNET, Secretariat of the Pacific Community, Public Health Surveillance
  • ProMED, International Society for Infectious Diseases
  • SAA Netcare Travel Clinics of South Africa
  • School of Public Health And Tropical Medicine, James Cook University, Australia
  • US Department of State
  • World Health Organization (WHO)
