Travel Clinic
The Travel Clinic service provides confidential, remote consultations to help you prepare for safe and healthy travel. Licensed healthcare professionals from Tibbi Telemed’s partner clinics will review your travel plans, medical history, and destination-specific risks to offer personalized advice, vaccination recommendations, and preventive care.
This service covers travel-related health concerns such as required and recommended vaccinations, malaria prevention, traveler’s diarrhea, prescription needs for trips abroad, and general travel health advice. Telemedicine makes it convenient to plan ahead with expert guidance from anywhere, without needing to visit a clinic unless an in-person vaccination or exam is required.
However, some cases may still require you to visit a local facility for vaccinations, lab tests, or additional examinations. Your healthcare professional will advise you on any necessary next steps.
