Aid and Development Agencies Services
Introduction
Ireland and Irish People are world leaders in providing aid
at all levels to third world and developing countries. The Tropical
Medical Bureau provides many of Irelands leading Non-government
(NGO) and Government Agencies with important health and medical
services. Education Seminars
If a group are about to departure on an assignment we can advise
them on what to expect and how to stay in good health. One of
our medical staff can attend to give a seminar. This can form
a useful part of your training program. Pre-Departure
Medical Screening
People involved in Development or Aid work often find themselves
in stressful situations, in regions with under developed health
systems and other basic infrastructures we take for granted.
It is important therefore that these people are in good health
and remain so while they are on assignment. Our Pre-Departure
services are designed to assist in this area. It involves a
full range of tests including psychological assessment, physical
and laboratory based tests. Workers are also scheduled with
whatever vaccines are necessary to ensure they are adequately
protected. Post-Exposure
Many tropical diseases only present themselves weeks maybe months
after the person has returned. The post- exposure service is
designed to ensure no health problems have occurred while the
individual was on assignment. Combining the Post and Pre Departure
consultations provides the best level of protection.
If you are an NGO or work with the Irish Government in overseas
development and would like further details please have no hesitation
