A significant increase in the number of Polish citizens travelling abroad, including tropical areas, has been noted in recent years. However, tourists are often not interested in prophylaxis before their journey, they are not vaccinated properly or ask for advice at the clinic of tropical medicine. Therefore, concerns about the health of travellers from temperate climatic zone heading for countries where the sanitary level is low, are justified. The study presents the principles of good preparation for a journey, considering a trip to Ghana, West-Africa.
