HEALTH... Despite the high standards, it is worth bringing basic OTC medicines for upset stomachs, headaches, insect bites etc.
India is an economically developing democratic republic and has worked very hard to control diseases. Adequate medical care is available in the major population centers, but is usually limited in the rural areas of the country. Many developed countries are utilizing the state-of-the-art medical services available in India. The cost of treatment is much more economical here in comparison to the same facilities available in advanced countries. The most important cause of illness of travelers in India is food and waterborne diseases. Viruses, bacteria, or parasites can cause diarrhea. Infections may cause simple diarrhea and vomiting, fever, or, in extreme cases, liver damage (hepatitis). Malaria is a preventable infection that can create trouble if left untreated. One can prevent infection by taking prescribed anti-malarial drugs and protecting against mosquito bites. The regions you will be passing are Malaria-free.
Make sure that your insurance company covers illnesses and accidents abroad (for Foreign Nationals).
During this trip you need not worry about your fitness if you take simple precautions:- - Carry all the important prescriptions and OTC medicines. Do not forget to have the brand names as well as the generic names of the medicines one needs to have.
- Wear a sun hat when exposed.
- Drink plenty of fluids. Do not drink tap water. Use only bottled / boiled water.
- Carry your personal medical kit and insect repellent.
- To prevent fungal and parasitic infections, keep feet clean and dry, and do not go barefoot.
- Do not eat food purchased from street vendors.
- Do not drink beverages with ice.
- Do not eat dairy products unless it is known that they have been pasteurized.
