Include your Institution/Clinic in the European Inventory
of Travel Medicine
Dear Travel Health Provider,
We live in a mobile
world and travel medicine is becoming an increasingly important
field of expertise. In the EU member states and allied countries
there has been remarkable growth in this area. The European
landscape is rich in historical, tropical and travel medicine traditions
and unique in terms of its heterogenicity and component national
guidelines. We are indeed "united
in diversity". Migration medicine is assuming a great
significance with decolonisation and post-colonial population flows
and demographic changes in Europe’s refugee and asylum processes.
To capture the status quo of European resources, EuroTravNet,
a network of European travel and tropical health experts, has been
asked to provide an inventory of travel medicine services in Europe.
To this end, we would like to include concise data on your
travel medicine practice in the EU listing. The short questionnaire,
available in several European languages, can be completed in five
minutes and the resulting inventory is the property of the European
Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and will not be
distributed to other parties.
Thank you for your co-operation in mapping travel medicine in
Europe.
On behalf of EuroTravNet and ECDC,
Patricia Schlagenhauf
WP2 Co-ordinator
