What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to Rwanda?

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 Rwanda?

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).

" 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."

" Excellent service, 5 star treatment.From the great first impression of the lovely reception team, Megan and Raja, to Dr Vikram treatment. Cannot recommend Pall Mall Medical enough. I wouldn't go anywhere else with clean, stylish and exceptional surroundings, customer service at its best."
