Before setting out, talk with your doctor about your travel itinerary and what precautions you need to take before traveling. You should also have your doctor’s contact information with you when you travel. If you’re traveling abroad, the U.S. consulate or embassy in the countries you’ve visited (go to step.state.gov to enroll your trip) is a good place to get a referral. Keep a list of your medications and other important health and medical information handy on your smartphone.
