Description: Welcome to The Travel Clinic Website. This site is intended for anyone wishing to learn about the health risks that may be encountered when travelling, and to find out how to minimize or manage those risks. We tend to concern ourselves with what happens when “we go over there”, but as the SARS outbreak has recently taught us, “things come here” as well. In addition to people being on the go, there is international trade in food and almost everything else. So there is the constant risk that almost any infectious organism or their vectors (e.g. mosquitoes) from one part of the world can show up on our dinner plate or in our back yard.
