Travel medicine is the second field of activitiy.
Swissair Medical Services are a public vaccination center and advisory board for travel medicine . If you plan a trip abroad, e.g. to tropical regions, come along 4 - 6 weeks before departure to let us check your vaccinations and inform you about precautionary measures about infectious diseases as Malaria. We constantly watch on epidemics worldwide to provide travellers and crew members with necessary recommendation .
