For a person with
disability, having a health guide and knowing
your health tips is essential in allowing you to
stay healthy and fit during your holidays. It is very important
for the disabled person to check with their doctors
before going for holidays to avoid any
unnecessary complications after arriving in a
foreign country.
Among the things to
find out from your doctors are whether you need
any immunizations, to make sure that you are
given all the necessary prescriptions that you
will need during the duration of your journey
and do not forget to ask for some spare for
emergencies, check out all the medical equipment
that you might need and also the spare parts in
case of emergency, recommendations for any
non-prescription medications that you may need
such as pain killers, sun lotion, laxatives,
spare glasses and the most important thing
is to find out how to get medical assistance
when you are away which includes contact
addresses for nearby hospitals, emergency
telephone numbers and also find out the quality
of health care in the country you are planning
to visit.
Always make sure
that your wheelchairs is in full working order
and it is advisable to get a maintenance check
before traveling. Make sure that the basic tools
and parts for the assembly and repair of the
wheelchair is made available. Never assume that
you will readily be able to access wheelchair
parts in other countries to fit your own the
type of wheelchair. It is essential to
know all of these before traveling as it will
save time and hassle during your holidays and
this will allow you to have a more enjoyable
