Travel Health Advice

Travelling should be an enjoyable experience, and nothing is more miserable than getting sick while sightseeing overseas. The difference between enjoyment and misery is just a little preparation before travel.

According to a local survey, around 7-41% of Hong Kong resident travelers experienced health-related problems during travel or after return. Three-fifths of the health-related problems, such as diarrhoea, abdominal pain and nausea, are preventable. As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure. To minimise risk of infection during travelling, nothing is more crucial than taking appropriate measures in personal, food and environmental hygiene.

Travellers are advised to make appointment for a basic body check-up with their Family Physicians or Travel Health Centres 4 to 6 weeks before travel. Medical advice should be sought regarding necessary vaccinations or prophylaxes. Moreover, if symptoms like fever, persistent diarrhoea, vomiting, jaundice, urinary disturbances and skin problems occur within 3 months after return, medical advice should be solicited.

Travellers can receive a one-stop service of body check-up, vaccination administration and prescriptions at the Outpatient Department of the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH).

Please note that vaccinations against Japanese Encephalitis (JE), Cholera, Plague and Yellow Fever are not available in HKSH. Our Resident Medical Officers may refer those who need certain vaccinations to other specialised centres.

  • Our Service :: Skin Prick Tests (S.P.T.)

  • Who needs skin prick tests (S.P.T.)?
    If you are suffering from nasal allergy, asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis or food allergy, then you may find the skin prick tests useful.
  • What is the aim and method of the S.P.T.?
    S.P.T. aims to find out to which allergens your body reacts. Avoidance of such allergens will significantly reduce the frequency and severity of your allergic symptoms. The method is to transfer a small droplet of an allergen onto the skin through pricking by a tiny lancet. A positive result is interpreted by measuring the size of the wheals.
  • What are the advantages of the S.P.T.?
    S.P.T. is highly recommended in Europe and America for their safety, efficiency and affordability. It is a relatively simple and painless procedure. It is suitable for patients of all ages and the result is available in 15 to 20 minutes.
