Malaria prophylaxis / Country overview

Careful malaria prophylaxis is essential for travel to risk areas, as this tropical disease can be life-threatening without protection. Since resistance patterns and recommendations are constantly changing worldwide, individual medical consultation beforehand is absolutely necessary. During the consultation, it will be determined whether prophylactic medication or standby medication is most appropriate for your destination. Furthermore, the choice of medication must be precisely tailored to your individual health condition and potential drug interactions.

Fit for long-distance travel: Travel medicine precautions for extended stays

A longer stay abroad, whether for studies, a sabbatical, or a work and travel program, requires particularly careful medical planning. Unlike a short vacation, during long-term travel your body is exposed to different climatic conditions, infection risks, and an unfamiliar medical infrastructure for months on end.
In our specialized consultation, we analyze the health requirements of your host country together. We complete your vaccinations, plan necessary booster shots, and provide comprehensive advice on malaria prophylaxis and protection against country-specific infectious diseases.

Safely to the summit: High-altitude medical consultation and examination

Are you planning a trekking adventure or an expedition to high altitudes? Above approximately 2,500 meters, the decreasing air pressure places particular demands on your body. Our specialized altitude medicine care helps you minimize health risks such as acute mountain sickness (AMS).
In a personal consultation, we will assess your physical capabilities and create an individualized acclimatization plan. We will discuss the necessary emergency medication and explain how to correctly interpret your body's warning signals – such as persistent headaches, nausea, or decreased performance.
Our goal is to prevent life-threatening complications such as high-altitude cerebral edema or high-altitude pulmonary edema through targeted education. With the right preparation, you can safely master the challenges of the mountains and fully enjoy your trip.

Planning for studies and career

Especially for study abroad programs or internships, many universities and employers require specific vaccination certificates or health certificates. We support you in overcoming all bureaucratic hurdles in a timely manner and prepare the necessary medical documents for your visa or enrollment.
