Abstract

Travel has been increasing globally since the COVID-19 pandemic ended, including travel from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to international destinations. This creates unique risks for travelers, who may return with various infectious diseases. Travel medicine is a well-established medical specialty worldwide; however, it has only recently been introduced within the GCC, with limited healthcare and public awareness of the importance of these services in preventing infectious diseases among international travelers. This document presents travel medicine recommendations for practicing clinicians in the GCC to help prevent these diseases through pre-travel consultation.
