WELCOME! WE ARE NEW MEXICO TRAVEL HEALTH

Our mission is to educate you and provide you with some basic information regarding health risks associated with international travel and pandemic planning. Regardless if you are traveling with a missionary group, disaster relief or traveling for business or pleasure, we want you to use our website as a tool to gather information. The consequences of becoming ill while on foreign travel can be serious and potentially life threatening. We encourage you to see a travel health specialist before you leave, ideally four to six weeks prior to departure, and take the recommended precautions to minimize your potential health risks. Have a safe and healthy trip!
