HEALTH Club Med has implemented a comprehensive and rigorous health policy at each of its Resorts. However we advise you take some precautions before you depart and during of your stay.
BEFORE YOUR STAY
DURING YOUR STAY
DOCTOR We advise you to consult your doctor prior to departure and inform them of your destination. Your doctor will indicate to you if your state of health is compatible with the stay that you have planned, notably if you have any ongoing treatments, if you have any chronic conditions, if you are pregnant, if your child is under the age of 2 or if you are showing any allergic conditions. Take time to also check the validity of your vaccines and those of your children. Club Med will not make any refund or cover any additional costs (cancellation, repatriation, hotels, taxis, etc.) if you are not able to comply with health requirements.
MEDICAL ASSISTANT You will find, in some Resorts, according to their medical facilities, a nurse and / or physician. They cannot, except in cases of treatment such as the provision of first aid, replace a local doctor, who is only authorised to fully practice medicine. If your state of health justifies it, Club Med may use the service of Europe Assistance who will advise, or not, and will decide, where appropriate, on the practicalities of repatriation.
APPROVED CENTERS OF TRAVEL ADVICE For last minute information or advice, we invite you to consult your local approved center of travail advice prior to departure. MEDICATION AND EXERCISE Do not forget to take any current medication for any current or on-going treatments. Be sure to also take any necessary medication during your stay and any prescriptions. If you think your planned winter sport holiday will exceed your abilities, be sure to take the time to prepare your physical ability before departure. PREGNANT WOMEN Club Med recommends that pregnant women avoid long journeys during their third trimester of pregnancy. It is also recommended that pregnant women also avoid sports which could involve falling. It is advised that all pregnant women consult a doctor prior to departure no matter their status in the pregnancy. CHILDREN See “The health of your children,” p76. INSURANCE We advise you take our “Ecran Total Insurance by Club Med insurance policy, which may be useful to you if your stay is interrupted due to medical repatriation.
PEFC
PRECAUTIONS FOOD AND CLIMATE CHANGE • Club Med provides, regular health checks to maximum hygiene across all stages of the food chain including preparation, handling and serving at all its Resorts. However, the change in eating habits and / or climate change may cause some inconvenience. Diarrhea (gastroenteritis) is a health problem that affects most frequently the passengers who experience climate / environmental or food changes. Uncomfortable disorders are often mild and heal in a few days. If fever is experienced, it is recommended that you consult a doctor. • Wash hands regularly with soap is essential because this simple gesture greatly reduces the risk of transmission of intestinal infections in a community. • The mountain climate means that you and your children, must protect properly from the cold and sun. The following rules of dressing is recomended - The inner layer: under garment, like a long-sleeved shirt and long johns worn next to the skin; - The second layer: a sweater, a fleece jacket or a sweatshirt to keep warm; - The outer layer: waterproof clothing, comfortable and suitable for outdoor sports. • To prevent frostbite, burns and inflammation of the eyes during outdoor activities, always wear your gloves, sunglasses and a hat. ALLERGIES Any person who may be allergic to a food component is invited to check with the Head Chef at the Resort at the time of check-in. PREVENTION OF DISEASES We remind you that some non-specific conditions to travel, are likely to be incurred regardless of the location (eg. Seasonal viral infections, sporadic influenza or intestinal). Others are specific to the host country or associated with the climate and microbiological environment. Club Med takes all measures to reduce the impact, but can not guarantee protection against pathogen. Regarding new emerging risks, Club Med has taken and will continue to, as appropriate, the necessary preventive measures in the Resorts of the areas concerned.
