Staying Healthy Abroad

Whether planning a long weekend in Mexico, a business trip to Ghana, or a semester abroad in Vietnam, travellers need current and practical information on protecting their health in foreign countries. Staying Healthy Abroad gives straightforward and easy-to-follow recommendations for those traveling for pleasure, study, business, or volunteer work; for short- or long-term stays; and to destinations ranging from rural areas to large cities, in both developing and industrialized nations. Observing that risk is determined less by where you go than by what you do, physician and educator Christopher Sanford provides succinct overviews and common sense advice on how to prevent communicable diseases, malaria and other mosquito-borne illnesses, and travellers' stomach issues; avoid traffic and water accidents; and evaluate post-trip symptoms; and addresses many other concerns.
