Our Travel and Tropical Medicine Outpatient Clinic provides medical services to individuals prior to travel to any country in the world as well as to returning travellers with signs and symptoms suggestive of a travel-associated illness. Additionally, we focus on health problems in migrants and refugees and are specialised in the diagnostic and clinical work-up of ‘imported’ infectious diseases. All physicians in our multidisciplinary team are trained in travel medicine and our consultants have long-standing experience in tropical medicine.

When do I get the result of a SARS-CoV-2 PCR test?
Usually, you will receive your test result within 24 hours. In selected cases, we can arrange a same-day test result.
How do I get my test result?
Your test result will be sent to you via e-mail on an internationally accepted travel certificate in English language.
