The Rough Guide to Travel health is the definitive health handbook wherever you are travelling. Now in its second edition, it is fully updated making it more indispensable than ever. The guide includes practical details on pre-trip planning, with advice on immunizations, medical kits, air travel and tips for travellers with specific needs.

As well as this wealth of general advice, there are safety tips for specific types of trips, such as active travel – skiing, scuba diving, climbing – together with a handy section on first aid. Sometime, somewhere, you’ll need this book – don’t leave home without it.
