What does vaccination recommended mean for travelling to West Papua formerly Irian Jaya?

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 West Papua formerly Irian Jaya?

What our patients say

" The 5 stars are for Samantha Graham! I can't comment as a patient, but as the administrator of an organisation which deals with professional athletes needing to arrange medical checks, including blood tests and brain scans, all too often at the very last second, I cannot thank Samantha enough for consistently bending over backwards and going well above and beyond to bail everyone out.. THANK YOU!!"

" "I can assure you that Mr El Gawad won't let you down" "hello. I am from London but live in Blackpool. 50yrs young and underwent adominoplasty [tummy tuck] in August of 2016. My consultant was Mr Ahmed El Gawad. From the moment i met Mr El Gawad i felt valued, important, a humam being. Mr El Gawad understood how my tummy has affected me since childbirth. he "just knew" how much this had not only physically affected me but pshycologically too. His emotional affinity to my long standing suffering was unbelievable. Mr El Gawad explained all the procedural elements to me and how the procedure would take place. We discussed the, short, medium and long term care plan. Mr El Gawad is well known across social media and his profile is if one of the county's most competent professional who exhibits a very personal approach which was conforting and reassuring. Mr El Gawad was always available via social media for online support outside clinic. how good is that!! At +10 days post op, I've just had dressings removed for inspection and"wow!'" what a result and ive still got 3 months of post op care to go through. the quality of work is oustanding and the scarring minimal for this sort of op. I cant recommend Mr El Gawad enough. This procedure is a significant one at a cost so it's important that one has confidence and mutual trust and respect. i can assure you that Mr El Gawad won't let you down. fantastic. modern. clean. customer focused. supportive and just amazing. special thanks to Jemma , Rachel, Amanda, Carol, Bernice and all the staff. Bernice was truly fantastic and vety sweet . They were there with me all day and stayed late until 11pm . superb clinic and staff. The anetheatist was very kind and softly spoken , who reassured me totally. all this goes 101% to making the whole experience." Treatment Received: Tummy Tuck"
