Zentrum für Tropen- und Reisemedizin 

About Us

Every year, around 16,000 travellers come to the Centre for Tropical and Travel Medicine for advice on all aspects of travel medicine and vaccination against common diseases. We are also here for you after your trip: as Switzerland’s largest competence center in tropical and travel medicine, we can also diagnose and treat rare travel diseases competently and quickly.

Advice tailored to your travel destination

What vaccinations do I need for my destination? What should I pack in the first-aid kit? How do I protect myself against diseases like malaria? What do I need to know when travelling with small children? We provide information about the specific health risks of your destination, for example, disease transmission through insects, eating local foods or contact with animals, as well as the most important precautions.

Whether malaria prophylaxis, recommended vaccines or local hygiene measures, we offer individual advice tailored to your destination. We administer all the necessary vaccinations recommended according to your destination. After the consultation, you can get your vaccinations directly with us. If you are already vaccinated, we can check whether your vaccinations are up-to-date and refresh them if necessary. Travel vaccinations should ideally be completed at least 14 days before travel. It is therefore important to make an appointment well in advance, preferably four to eight weeks before departure.
