What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Lesotho?

While it isn't a requirement to pass border control and customs when you enter the country, given the presence of the particular disease in the country, you may want to protect yourself from the risk of contracting an illness while you visit. Being protected is better than becoming ill while abroad.

Also depending upon your plans for your destination and your accommodation plans, you may benefit from a vaccination as a preventative measure.

For example, if you intend to visit local farms, isolated sections, intend to stay outside of a hotel environment, you may benefit from the protection of a vaccination as your risk of contracting certain diseases and illnesses increases.

What does 'sometimes recommended' mean for travelling to Lesotho?

If you have travelled from an area where a particular vaccination was required, you may require that vaccination for your next destination also (eg, Yellow Fever when travelling from a previous Yellow Fever area).

What our patients say

" Had breast enlargement there this morning, and it was professional from start to finish. The place it's self is like a tardis, it's massive inside, and spotlessly clean. I had my own en suite room, which had all the facilities you need, and the staff are lovely and nothing was too much trouble. A big thank you also to my surgeon Mr Prasad, they are looking fantastic!! "

" My colleagues recommended Mr Maiti earlier this year when I was crippled by period pains. He has helped me realise that it may be possible to gradually get a bit better. He has also helped me understand that I really need to start making some changes in my thinking patterns, in my persistent fears about pain and medical procedures, how to weigh up my options, how to better understand my mind-body connection, and hopefully re-learn to cope better and live a more rewarding life. I am aware that the path to recovery in my situation might take more than a few months, but I am happy and comfortable with trying my best following his guidance. Surprisingly to this day and age, many practitioners dismiss and undermine the severity of menstrual issues, which is quite disconcerting to say the least. But, Mr Maiti is a top consultant in this area with a comprehensive and compassionate way of medical care. He takes a systematic standpoint to address the source of pain without masking the physical suffering under less relevant medication. I am well aware, and always concerned, about the prevalence of tricyclic antidepressants prescribed for most chronic pain conditions esp. in female patients. If you suffer with period and chronic pelvic pain, I would definitely suggest that you book an appointment with him, get yourself checked and properly sorted in the right direction and under proper care and diagnosis."

" I visited the hospital 2 weeks ago for us scan with Mr Prasad, who was amazing! He had a first class bedside manner, very caring and sympathetic. Also, receptionist Sam was very efficient in sorting out my written report! I would visit again without a doubt. Thank you Newton le willows team! "

Patient at Pall Mall Medical

" I had a face and neck lift carried out by Mr Gawad who has been amazing,from my first consultation, where Mr Gawad listened to what I wanted,gave me options on how he would achieve this, then explained the procedure thoroughly, he put me at ease and answered any questions i had. I had my operation 4 days ago and i could not be happier! there has been little swelling and no pain!! and the results are just amazing! far exceeded my expectations. My procedure was carried out at Newton le Willows medical centre,where every member of the team there were just so nice and really looked after me. Mr Gawad even rang me at home to find out how i was,i don't know of any other surgeon that does that. I would recommend Mr Gawad to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.I cannot thank him enough."
