About the Book

Our ability to travel to the remotest parts of the world has been transformed, but the health risks are ever changing and increasing, and there may be no one to help when things go wrong. Whether you are travelling abroad for business or pleasure, this book provides essential, detailed, practical advice for journeys all over the world. This fifth edition is a complete revision of a best-selling, comprehensive and trusted guide. Travellers need to be increasingly well informed about health problems they may encounter abroad. Malaria prevention, the latest vaccine information and advice, cruise ship travel, jet lag, skiing, and accidents and injuries abroad: this book covers every important issue in travel medicine, with the emphasis firmly on self-help and prevention. This new edition brings together state-of-the-art background information and specialist advice from more than 70 leading experts from several countries, now in a more compact format. It is also available in an electronic edition. Travellers' Health is the standard source for the well-prepared traveller.

Review :
Richard Dawood has done it again. He has produced another edition of his magnificent book, better than the previous edition. It comes in 530 pages, yet small enough to slip it into the hand luggage when travelling. That is the idea; to inform the travellers that seek information, and help them manage travel problems they face and how to prevent them. This is the fundamental strength of this book... I would recommend this book to every traveller I see in my travel clinic. It is an invaluable part of the travellers handluggage. ... now in its fifth edition and is the most useful reference book on the subject. Travellers' Health remains the bible for all who want to understand the basic physical problems of travelling. This is important, in-depth information which covers every contingency and which, along with toilet paper, is one of the true indispensables in any adventurous traveller's bag.
