Abstract     Traveller should get general health advice, information about recommended vaccinations and malaria protection, and advice regarding the travel medical kit. The health advice must be personalised for each traveller, taking into account age, underlying health, duration of travel and anticipated level of geographic risk. Care should be taken regarding the quantity of travel medical kit, so that it will be useful to the traveller and not just an extra weight of the baggage which is already heavy enough.
Summary     Popotniku poleg splošnih nasvetov, priporočil glede cepljenj in zaščite pred malarijo svetujemo tudi glede potovalne lekarne. Nasvet glede vsebine potovalne lekarne mora biti oseben, prilagojen vsakemu popotniku glede na njegovo starost, zdravstveno stanje, način in trajanje potovanja ter pričakovana tveganja povezana s predelom potovanja. Potovalna lekarna mora biti popotniku v korist in ne nadležna preobremenitev že tako težke prtljage.
