🏥 Travel Health Insurance & Medication Guides

🧳 General Travel Health Tips

• Always carry travel insurance. Even in countries with great public healthcare, tourists often pay full price. A single hospital visit abroad can cost thousands.
• Pack a medication kit. Bring enough prescription meds for your entire trip + a few extra days. Keep them in original labeled containers with a copy of your prescription.
• Check medication restrictions before you fly. Some common OTC drugs (Sudafed, codeine, Adderall) are banned or controlled in many countries. Check our country guides for specifics.
• Get vaccinated early. Many travel vaccines need 4-6 weeks to take effect. Visit a travel clinic well before departure.
• Download offline health info. Save your destination's health guide from this page before you travel — you may not have internet when you need it most.
• Know the local emergency number. It's not always 911. Each country guide lists the correct numbers.
