Travel health

People who travel overseas have a 50 per cent chance of suffering a travel-related illness. While most travel-related illness is minor, some very serious infectious diseases are endemic in some parts of the world.

All travellers should be prepared for travel and be aware of health issues and measures to protect themselves from sickness.
