What is Cholera?
Cholera infection is caused by contaminated food or water which can occur commonly after floods or disruption to sanitation. Cholera causes a sudden onset of watery diarrhoea often accompanied by vomiting. One can pass as much as 22 liters of diarrhoea in 24 hours Travellers should always boil water for three minutes prior to drinking or even cleaning teeth with it. Ensuring food is cooked thoroughly is another preventative measure that can reduce risk of transmission.

As greater numbers of people travel to even more exotic and remote destinations – an estimated 600 million travellers cross international borders annually – the field of travel medicine has grown.
Some studies suggest that only in the region of eight percent of travellers seek pre-travel risk advice. Many of these receive advice from practitioners ill-equipped to provide up to date and relevant information through lack of time or experience. In recent years the complexity of travel medicine has increased rapidly; with variations in patterns of drug resistance, changes in global infectious disease distribution, as well as a rise in the number of travellers with chronic health issues.
Travel medicine, as a field, encompasses a large number of disciples including public and occupational health, epidemiology, infectious disease and tropical disease among others. As an individual, and growing, speciality standards of practice have been established to identify the scope of competencies expected from travel health medicine practitioners, to guide their professional training and development, while ensuring an acceptable level of patient care is reached.
