Take care of your health and make use of the following services offered by our Medical Centre:
- Vaccinations
If you are travelling to an exotic country, you should pay special attention to health considerations.
Check between six and eight weeks before your planned departure whether there are any recommended or obligatory vaccinations required for the destination country.
Our Medical Centre also offers vaccinations to protect against infections and other health risks to ensure that you comply with the regulations or recommendations in the various countries.
Don't forget to bring your vaccination certificate and signed vaccination information sheet with you!
- Malaria prophylaxis
Drugs to prevent malaria, insect repellent for skin and clothing and a mosquito net impregnated with insecticide are available.
- Thrombosis prophylaxis
Travel thrombosis, as it is called, can occur on long journeys because of the limited mobility.
Important preventive measures:
- drink plenty of fluids
- move your legs so as to stimulate the blood circulation
- wear travel stockings
Pregnant women and persons with circulation problems are at particular risk.
In certain cases it might be advisable, after consultation with your doctor, to take anticoagulants before embarking on very long flights.
You can purchase travel stockings and thrombosis medication for your return flight.
There is also a pharmacy and even a dentist at the airport.
