Welcome to the second edition of our WTMC newsletter,
where we introduce you to the faces behind the voices
which you might have met over the phone; we tell you
more about the remote projects we provide medical
services to; we keep you up to date on disease outbreaks
and the management thereof and, finally, we tell you
more about our specialised colleagues who we regularly
consult with in our aim to always provide you with the
best available advice and services.
Thank you for your positive feedback to this
newsletter. Please do contact us regarding any of the
people introduced, issues raised or any new matter you
would like to raise. This month's disease focus is that
scourge of the winter months - Influenza
(flu).
You will find all the motivation behind ensuring you
and all your staff get vaccinated. We are equipped to
come to your offices with the vaccines to implement a
vaccine drive on-site - please contact Sr Linda Crause
at l.crause@wtmconline.com
for a quotation.
All our expat parents will be delighted by the news
that Paediatric Malanil® is now available from WTMC and
our associates, The Travel Doctor. Click

During autumn and winter we are
most at risk of contracting viral infections, such as
influenza (flu), a disease that costs employers money in lost
