Tailored Screenings + Support
Screening, investigation, and treatment of infectious and parasitic diseases that travellers may have been contracted during travel
As a specialist travel clinic this includes for diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and the full range of tropical diseases.
We’ll conduct a thorough evaluation of potential exposure risks based on travel history, geographic region, and specific activities, followed by targeted diagnostic testing to detect infections early, for immediate treatment.
Travellers' Diarrhoea Diagnosis
Diagnosis the cause of your travellers' diarrhoea in just 65 minutes using our GI Panel PCR test.
Our rapid in-house laboratory testing for travellers’ diarrhoea, uses advanced molecular diagnostics to determine the cause of your symptoms, fast!
Our PCR test is capable of detecting any of the 23 commonest pathogens that cause diarrhoea – such as E. coli, campylobacter, norovirus salmonella, shigella and giardia, from a single stool sample – all that’s needed is a simple swab.
Pinpointing the exact cause and start tailored treatment immediately.
Post-tropical Screening
Even if you have no current symptoms, a post-tropical screening offers reassurance against any any disease or illnesses you may have been exposed to.
We also offer general medical screenings, including well-man and well-woman check-ups, to ensure overall health and catch any potential issues early.
STI Testing
In addition to screening for tropical and travel-related diseases, it is essential for returning travellers to undergo comprehensive testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
This is especially important if there was potential exposure during their trip.
We’d recommend testing for common STIs such as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and hepatitis, as well as emerging or region-specific infections.
Early detection and prompt treatment of STIs can prevent long-term complications and limit the spread of infections to others. By integrating STI testing into post-travel health assessments, individuals can ensure their overall well-being and promote public health safety.
Psychological Assessment + Screening
Psychological assessment and screening with a particular focus on identifying and addressing post-traumatic stress and other mental health issues arising from challenging travel experiences, such as exposure to violence, natural disasters, or personal trauma.
Early detection of symptoms allows for timely interventions, including counselling, therapy, and medication when necessary.
These efforts aim to help individuals process their experiences, manage trauma, and support emotional recovery, fostering long-term mental well-being after travel.
Fast-track Referral To Specialists
Fast-track referral to specialists plays a critical role in post-travel care when travellers return with complex health conditions that require expert management.
This expedited process ensures that individuals with serious or unusual illnesses, such as persistent infections, complicated tropical diseases, or chronic conditions exacerbated by travel, receive prompt attention from specialists.
By quickly connecting patients to experts, we prevent unnecessary delays in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately improving recovery outcomes and ensuring that post-travel health issues are addressed comprehensively and efficiently.

By far the commonest problem we see is persistent diarrhoea, for which we often find bacterial or parasitic causes.
With stool PCR testing, we can provide fast, accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment. Other common problems include rashes and other skin problems, fever, and respiratory problems.
Any fever in a traveller returning from a tropical destination needs urgent medical assessment. It is vital to test for and rule out malaria as quickly as possible. Many illnesses cause fevers, but malaria can cause rapid deterioration, and can kill if untreated.
