It
would be impossible to carry in a first aid / medical pack enough to cater for
every eventuality whilst abroad yet a little foresight in advance might be
sufficient to avoid distress in the future.
The following list is not
definitive however we believe it to be necessitous. If you believe that we have
omitted any item please let us know and we will add your advice and suggestion
to the list.
We also realise that the
country, climate, distance from cities, who you will be with : will all
have a bearing on what items might be necessary.
