We are raising awareness through global health promotion activities in local communities, remote locations, our offices and clinics. EBOLA There is no effective treatment and no vaccine available. Ebola is highly contagious so it is vital to prevent infection. WATER: IS IT SAFE TO DRINK? People are travelling more often and more widely than ever before, both for work and for pleasure. This means they are often faced with environments that they are unfamiliar with. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), some 842,000 people are estimated to die each year from diarrhoea as a result of unsafe drinking water, sanitation and hand hygiene. FEMALE TRAVEL Female travel safety has made international headlines, especially following a number of attacks in India. Today, there are more women travelling for business than ever before and organisations are looking for support and advice to help business travellers and expats stay protected; ensuring their work is uninterrupted. ZIKA VIRUS Key medical information on the outbreak evolution. Zika is an emerging infectious disease that is transmitted to people through mosquito bites. An increasing number of travellers are being diagnosed with the disease after they return home. TUBERCULOSIS TB is a serious condition that is contagious and spreads through the air – it can be found in every part of the world. However, TB can be prevented and cured with proper treatment. In fact, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial. AIR POLLUTION It is a fact that a person could go days without food and hours without water, but would last only a few minutes without air. Air is pivotal to us, but what happens to your employees in countries where there is hazardous air pollution? Can it stop your people from achieving your business objectives? UKRAINE Throughout late 2013 and early 2014, civil unrest spread as clashes between opposition activists, Government troops and pro-Russian forces intensified. In late February, Kiev saw its worst day of violence in 70 years, with at least 88 people killed. SMOKING Tobacco kills nearly 6 million people a year and contributes to many of the world’s “lifestyle” illnesses including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. People who smoke have an increased risk of cancer of the lung and other organs. ROAD ACCIDENTS Road safety isn't just about being a safer driver. Sometimes, the safest option is not to drive at all. If you don’t know the rules of the road, highway conditions, or local language, you may be better off arranging transportation with a trusted and vetted provider. See all WORLDWIDE REACH.
