Every year thousands of Canadians travel throughout the world. With this travel comes the potential for exposure to conditions and diseases that are vastly different from those encountered here at home.
Travel Medicine is a relatively new field that was started in the 1980's. It was developed in response to the growing number or people making international trips. Travel medicine is concerned with the prevention and management of health problems associated with international travel. The role of a travel medicine practitioner is to provide the traveller with expert advice and preventative measures regarding specific health risks for their country of destination.
The Travel Doctor is committed to providing our patients with the specialized counselling and immunizations necessary for safe travel outside Canada. We can provide you with information specific to any country you may be travelling to, and we can help with all the necessary precautionary information that you need prior to departure.
