“Travel has become a global trend and an ever-growing number of people is touring the five corners of the world. The enjoyment and pleasure of travel can be hampered by a hidden physical condition or by contracting diseases in the countries that are visited. And because of differences in sanitary conditions, available food and water sources, and immunization coverages, some destinations expose you to certain serious infectious diseases that can be prevented by hygienic measures and preventive medications and vaccinations. This is why it is crucial for travelers to get checked at the travel clinic few weeks before any of their trips to make sure they are in perfect health condition to fully enjoy their time”, said Rola Husni-Samaha, MD – Chief of Infectious Diseases and Head of Infection Control at LAU Medical Center- Rizk Hospital.
