Dear Partners,
Summer is in full swing, and while many enjoy the sunshine, it’s also a season that brings its own challenges — especially in healthcare. In this blog post, we want to share some important reminders and seasonal health tips to keep your clinic running smoothly and your patients safe.
? Action Needed: Update Your Payment Details
To ensure that all partner clinics receive timely payouts, please take a moment to verify and complete your bank information in the Partner Portal.
You can do this by logging in and navigating to:
? “Manage Account” > “Payment Details”
This helps us process payments without delays, especially during the busy summer travel season. If you’ve already completed this step — thank you!
?? Clinic Closed for Vacation? Please Inform Us
Planning a clinic-wide break this summer?
If your entire clinic will be closed for vacation, please inform us in advance. This allows us to:
-
Avoid sending appointment requests during your closure
-
Update your availability on the platform
-
Prevent patient disappointment or confusion
Simply notify the Health4Travel team or update your availability settings directly in the Partner Portal.
? Appointment Changes? Let Us Know!
If you cancel or reschedule an appointment, it’s essential that Health4Travel is informed.
To notify us quickly and correctly, please use the designated buttons in the Partner Portal. This ensures:
-
Our support team can assist patients promptly
-
Platform information remains accurate
-
Trust is maintained between patients and clinics
Your cooperation helps us provide seamless care experiences across borders. Thank you!
?? Rising Temperatures & Heat-Related Illnesses
With higher temperatures, we see an increase in cases of:
-
Heat exhaustion: Symptoms include heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and rapid pulse.
-
Heatstroke: A medical emergency where body temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F), potentially causing confusion, seizures, or loss of consciousness.
-
Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
-
Sunburn and UV-related skin conditions
-
Worsening of chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular and respiratory conditions
? What Clinics Can Do:
-
Ensure your waiting and treatment areas are well-ventilated or air-conditioned.
-
Remind patients (especially travellers) to stay hydrated, wear loose clothing, and avoid peak sun hours.
-
Stock up on oral rehydration solutions, cooling packs, and sun protection.
-
Be alert for vulnerable groups: the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing conditions.
? Travel Health Tip of the Season
With increased tourism during summer, remind your patients to:
-
Use insect repellent to prevent mosquito-borne illnesses in high-risk areas.
-
Be cautious with food and water to avoid travel-related gastroenteritis.
-
Stay up to date on routine vaccinations and travel vaccines.
This is also a good opportunity to promote pre-travel consultations and post-travel checkups — a service many travellers overlook.
