When visiting another country it is smart to do some research on the health issues that might arise while you are there. You may ask your doctor if any inoculations are necessary before you leave the country. Some countries require for you to be immunized, so get all necessary shots and be ready for worse. It is better to be precautions then to suffer afterwards.
If you are taking any medications, pack a sufficient amount of it to last for the whole trip because it might be difficult to find such medication in other country. It either does not exist there or it is not the same quality you would expect. Plus it may be very expensive to purchase medications in other countries.
While there be very cautious to what you eat and drink. Many people were poisoned either by contaminated water or bad food. Be aware of insects because, even though you had had an immunization, the bugs can mutate and still be dangerous. Wash your foods, take trouble to boil water, and to always keep you guard on.
The quality of medical service may not be very high in some of the countries you visit, so staying healthy is the only option to avoid the experience of being treated by local doctors. So, be on guard of your health and be aware of the dangers.
Have a safe trip!
