Travellers medical kits

The Travel Doctor-TMVC recommends all travellers carry some form of medical first aid kit. The range of medical kits available in our clinics have been designed in consultation with Travel medicine experts worldwide & contain the most up to date treatment for common travel illness. They contain medications available only on prescription & can therefore only be purchased after personal consultation with a Travel Doctor.

Lightweight & compact, The Travel Doctor kits come with complete, easy to follow instructions for use & a letter of authorisation to carry you safely through customs.

The Travel Doctor can help you choose the kit that is right for you & your travel plans. With a Travel Doctor medical kit you are equipped to treat health problems quickly before they interfere with your travel plans.
