Traveling to another country can have its own hazards. Your own health changes all the time and it is a good idea to get a checkup before you go on a long trip where it will be difficult to get medical care.
It is also important to consult the centers for disease control website www.cdc.gov for information on infections that may be ongoing in your destination country. It will also provide you up to date information on any vaccines you may need and also things you may need to bring with you.
If you do get sick abroad personal physicians worldwide 1-888-657-8114 & international association for assistance to travelers 1-716-754-4883 are resources you can use as well as your adoption agency.
There are clinics available in most large cities, which specialize in persons traveling abroad, and they can be a valuable resource to you and you physician about what you can expect. Also speaking with the adoption agency and with other people who have made the same trip is useful.
