Treatment Spectrum

Travel medicine.
Safe wherever you go.

As a WHO-authorised yellow fever vaccination centre and a specialist practice for tropical medicine, we advise you individually on vaccinations and risk prevention — for business trips, holidays or longer stays abroad.

Good travel advice goes beyond checklists: it takes into account your destination, travel style, duration, season, planned activities and your personal medical history. From this we develop a vaccination plan tailored precisely to you.
