</p><p>First, research the health conditions of your destination — where you should not go, the foods to avoid, and other health advisories.</p><p>Next, ensure that people back home can reach you or check on you while you're abroad: e-register with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so your loved ones can check in with them in case of an emergency.</p><p>You could also leave them a copy of your itinerary so they know where you are and how to contact you via your accommodation.</p><p>

</p><p>Before you go, use our 3Ps to check off your travel health essentials.</p><p>
<strong> Prepare health cards</strong> for your family. List vital health information such as blood type and allergies in case there's a need for immediate medical attention and there's a language barrier. Carry them with you everywhere.</p><p>
<strong>Pack a handy travel kit</strong> with first aid items like pills, plasters, thermometer, insect repellent and sunscreen lotion.</p><p>
<strong>Purchase travel insurance</strong> for peace of mind — and you want as much peace as you can get when you're travelling with children.
