MW Medical Interviewed By 联合晚报 - In the Newsroom! :: 10 June 2008

June period is the school holidays in Singapore where families travel abroad both to enjoy as well as to promote cohesiveness within the family. Wan Bao has published an article on 1st June 2008 on the 15 important preparations before embarking on an overseas trip. Our founder, Dr Madeleine Chew was one of three doctors interviewed for advice on the preparations to be carried out, so as to ensure a smooth and healthy journey.

Here is a summary of the article.

The 15 steps include taking preventive injection. Miss Madeleine Chew suggests that before travelling, it is better to take the influenza preventive injection especially when it is the active period for the influenza virus.

The other steps mentioned in the article include preparing medicine to bring along, self-test for blood pressure and blood sugar level and to drink more water which will help with the blood circulation. It is also better to choose to sit at the seats located in the middle of the flight cabin or the front seats if you are traveling by car. Be careful of the food and drinks that you consume and bring along oral rehydration salt or any isotonic drinks to prevent travellers’ diarrhoea. Travellers should also prevent eating cold food as well. For those who feel body ache, they can also use the hair dryer to blow at those areas which are aching. If there are any sprains or allergies, it is better to go to the hospital. Travellers can also use their fingers to press on the back of their heads if they are having flu or headache. They can also wear long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect themselves from any insect bites. Pregnant women who are either at their first or last three months of pregnancy should avoid going overseas. It is also best to purchase travel insurance.
