Medical advice and know-how for people living and working abroad

Health
When you travel to work and live in different climates and environments, you should be aware that there can be many health risks related to different diseases found in different countries that you may have never been exposed to before. To stay fit and healthy you should pay particular attention to food hygiene, the source of   drinking water and hand cleanliness.
Before planning to travel or move abroad you should ensure that you are fully aware of the health status of your host country and have taken appropriate medical precautions, such as immunisations and suitable medical insurance cover.
There are a number of resources available to provide advice and support. Your first stop should be to consult with your doctor.
In the UK your doctor can provide you with a free booklet 'Health advice for Travellers' which primarily gives advice on health and immunisations as well as the rules of the EU service. It is also advisable to ask for a copy of your medical notes to take with you if you have or have had any type of serious medical complaint.

  1. Most often the things we never see are in front of us all the time. Health Secrets from the Seventh Heaven by Moshe Sharon does a great job of revealing a part of ourselves that is always there within us and always escaping our attention. Once you read this book you realize that the solutions to your existing or potential health problems are so close to you that all you need to do is to become aware of them.
