Before you fly

  • See your GP or a travel clinic 6–8 weeks before travel about vaccines and malaria advice.
  • Bring enough regular medicine in original packaging plus a copy of your prescription.
  • Get travel insurance that covers existing conditions; NHS care does not cover you abroad.
  • Drink bottled or boiled water and be careful with ice and street salads, especially with children.
