What's new in 2004?

English Edition Edition française
International Travel and Health is a WHO publication that offers guidance on the full range of health risks likely to be encountered at specific destinations and associated with different types of travel – from business, humanitarian and leisure travel to backpacking and adventure tours. The guidance is intended to help the medical profession to be fully aware of potential risks and to provide appropriate advice, whether this concerns recommended vaccinations, protection against insects and other disease vectors, or safety in different environmental settings.

International Travel and Health was completely redesigned in 2002 to reflect better knowledge about the risks to which travellers are exposed and the precautions needed to protect their health.

The printed version of the 2003 edition may still be ordered. The 2004 edition is available on line only, to allow for regular updates.

The 2005 edition, which will be printed during the first quarter of 2005, will integrate all the web updates.
