Getting sick overseas can be scary. You're in an unfamiliar place and often don't speak the language. Although each trip is different, there are universal things you can do to keep safe.

Be prepared. “Schedule a visit with a doctor who specializes in travel or the area you're visiting at least four weeks before your departure，” says WHO public health expert es Poumerol. A travel doctor will be able to give you the required and recommended vaccinations (接种疫苗) as well as discuss any medical issues you may come across abroad.

Get insurance. “In many countries where you have limited access to health care, good health care is only found in the private sector and can be very expensive，” erol says. Plus, in an emergency, returning to the United States can cost more than $50, your health insurance company whether your policy applies overseas and whether it will cover trips to a foreign hospital. If not, there are many companies that offer short­term travel health insurance for a reasonable fee.A list can be found on the US State Department's travel website.

Pack erol also suggests bringing a note from your doctor in English and the language of the country you're visiting. Packing an emergency contact list is important. Contacts should include the local embassy (使馆), relatives who should be informed if you get sick and your health insurance company.

Be care. You have to be in charge of your health. If you're being treated abroad, question the medical staff about their sterilization (杀菌) practices; injection (注*) equipment should be put in boiling water for at least 30 minutes or used only once. Also be sure that doctors and nurses are wearing gloves to prevent fluid transfer. Limiting your alcohol intake will keep you focused on your safety. If your common sense is perfect, the rest of your body should follow.
