A medical and first-aid kit for the traveler should take into account the particular itinerary and needs of the individual. The items included will depend upon destination, types of activity, and any particular medical requirements due to chronic or likely acute conditions. The kit should be comprehensive to anticipate needs but also not contain unnecessary or bulky items that might take up valuable luggage space. Consideration should also be given to the availability and quality of items overseas and issues of carrying medicines for personal use. This chapter considers the contents of such kits for different travel situations. |
