Guidance

If you are taking prescription medicines overseas, ensure you have the prescription or documentation details.

Medicines legal in your country might not be legal elsewhere.

Make copies before you travel and leave with a trusted source, in case you need them.

Consider taking out health insurance for any journey outside your home country. The quality and expense of healthcare can differ greatly and an unplanned event can cost a significant amount of money.

Some countries have reciprocal health care arrangements, which means that you can get access to health care on a similar level to local persons. Check if arrangements are in place with your country and destination before you leave.
