Medical Kit

Sufficient medical supplies should be carried to meet all foreseeable needs for the duration of the trip.
A medical kit should be carried for all destinations where there may be significant health risks, particularly those in developing countries, and/or where the local availability of specific medications is not certain. This kit will include basic medicines to treat common ailments, first-aid articles, and any special medical items that may be needed by the individual traveller.

Contents of a basic medical kit:

• adhesive tape
• antiseptic wound cleanser
• bandages
• emollient eye drops
• insect repellent
• insect bite treatment
• nasal decongestant
• oral rehydration salts
• scissors and safety pins
• simple analgesic (e.g. paracetamol)
• sterile dressing
• clinical thermometer
• sterile syringes and needle
• condoms
• sedatives
• sun-protection
• a flashlight

Emergency medical travel kits should carry sufficient identification to ensure their acceptance by Customs officials but the contents should not be opened until needed. It is also unwise to carry loose syringes or needles unless you have a doctor’s letter explaining their purpose ?if, for example, you are a diabetic.
