Pre-travel medical consultations

ANTI-MALARIA MEDICAL CONSULTATION AND DRUG PRESCRIPTION

What if there is the risk of contracting malaria at your destination? Our specialists will guide you through the best practices to prevent infection according to your destination’s conditions and your medical history. With Ambimed, you receive your medical prescription for the purchase of drugs and start drug prophylaxis even from home , without having to go to the clinic.

The term "prophylaxis" refers, in general, to all the practices to be put in place to prevent the onset of a disease. It can range from the use of spray repellent against mosquitoes to vaccination. For malaria there is no vaccine, but the chances of infection can be reduced with specific drugs, which must be prescribed by a doctor based on the specific risk of the destination.

MEDICAL CONSULTATION ON VACCINATIONS

A tailor-made guide to vaccinations, specific for what you need. After analysing your medical history, including any medications you are using, any disabilities and immune conditions, allergies, ongoing pregnancies or breastfeeding, our specialists will tell which vaccinations are most useful to protect your health.

Vaccination is based on the exposure of an infectious agent to our immune system. Administered orally or through an injection (parenteral route), a vaccine contains the treated versions of the disease-causing bacterium or virus, or of some of its proteins or the toxins it produces (e.g. the tetanus vaccine); the treatment makes them harmless.

In this way, the immune system can be “trained” to mount a defence against infection, developing an immunological memory in a safe context. This elicits a rapid and precise response when the infectious agents are encountered again, neutralising the threat before the disease develops.

> DISCOVER ALL THE SERVICES FOR YOUR TRAVEL MEDICINE

Some destinations, in particular Africa, Asia, South America and many other destinations, expose the traveler to potential infectious events.
Do not underestimate the importance of a medical consultation, leave informed about the unknowns associated with your destination and ensure a wonderful trip even before taking the flight.

During the consultation, through an interview, the doctor will assess the health unknowns related to your trip.

  • Your medical history: getting to know you thoroughly is the first step to make you leave safely. Together we will do a thorough medical history by meticulously reconstructing your medical history;
  • Activities you have planned, such as nature hikes or events with large gatherings of people;
  • The itinerary chosen with a focus on the regions to visit, the season and duration of the trip;
  • The type of accommodation for the whole holiday period;
  • Sharing of the best pharmacological and / or behavioral prophylaxis to follow.
After having collected all the useful information, the specialist will propose the most correct prevention to follow based on your destination. Not all countries are the same, no story is taken for granted.

There are places in the world where it is not enough to bring an umbrella or an extra sweater. You need a travel pharmacy that provides a careful analysis of the potential health risks associated with your destination. Our specialists will be able to recommend the best portable pharmacy based on your medical history and the health situation of the goal to be reached.

Choose the mode that is most comfortable for you:

  • in the Ambimed Points, Travel Medicine clinics
  • or, remotely via video consultation.

In both modalities, our medical teams will take care of your health and help you face the journey with the utmost serenity.
