As it says health is wealth. I would like to share my
experience being guided foreign travelers on mountains of Pakistan. Before
travelling you should be precautions about some of the health problems that you
will face. There are health risks not encounter in Western and American
countries. Because some parts of the country where people visit are undeveloped
and there are not proper management of health services except first aid posts
or somewhere an ordinarily experienced doctor will be find in the remote areas
of Pakistan. Sometimes there can be seriously infectious diseases are common
and need to be careful about them. Travelers staying in hotels in big cities
and tourist on organized tours, face different health risks. There are no
absolute rules to follow you will no often have to make your own judgment on
the healthiness of your surroundings. With suitable precautions you should stay
healthy.
There are many well
qualified doctors in Pakistan in the major cities but the quality of medical
care and medicine diminishes when move towards the remote areas. If you are in
a major city your embassy may be able to recommend a list of doctors.
If you are a long way
of a medical help, some self treatment may be needed and you are more than
likely to find drugs with familiar names on sale. Always buy from a reputable
source, and check date stamping. Vaccines in particular have much reduced
self-life if not stored properly.
Before traveling to
Pakistan take out medical insurance from your country. See your doctor or
travel clinic for anti-malarial advice and for vaccination. Make sure your
health is good. Make dental check up ( I found most my clients with toothache
problem). If you have long-standing medical problem such as diabetes, high
blood pressure, heart-trouble get advice from your doctor and carry sufficient
medicine to last the full duration of your trip or holiday.
Vaccination and
immunization
If you require
travel vaccinations see your doctor well in advance of your travel vaccination
is best done early. Travel clinics may provide rapid courses and advice.
Vaccinations for the following diseases are very important
before travelling Pakistan:
Typhoid, Polio, Tetanus, Hepatitis, Malaria and
Tuberculosis. Children should in addition, be properly protected against
diphtheria, mumps and measles.
It is not need to be bother that if travel you will have
these diseases but need to be precautions about your health. Vaccination before travel gives any one
bitten more time to get treatment so, particularly helpful for those visiting
remote areas and also prepares the body to produce antibodies quickly.
I hope you will enjoy reading this article and comment for
further improvement. I am very much curious to know about travelling
requirements. I always keep trying to share useful tips for the travelers to this country where I had experience in the field work being guided people on trekking and mountains. I am sure that health is one of the important factor in someones life and need to careful of it.
