New year, new destinations: start 2026 with safe and healthy travel
A new year brings fresh opportunities—and for many, that means international travel. Whether you're planning a semester abroad, a remote work experience, or simply ticking off bucket-list destinations, your health should travel with you.
New environments, time zones, and unfamiliar healthcare systems can challenge your well-being. Preparing before you go is the smartest way to enjoy every moment without unnecessary stress.
How to protect your health before and during your trip:
Schedule a pre-travel medical check-up Your doctor can identify any conditions that need monitoring and recommend the right vaccines based on your destination.
Review your international medical assistance plan Ensure your coverage includes emergency care, hospital access, and 24/7 coordination abroad. MedOne adapts to your needs and destination.
Pack a tailored travel health kit Include essentials like personal prescriptions, sun protection, antihistamines, pain relievers, and insect repellent.
Know the emergency numbers Save local emergency contacts and your MedOne Assistance hotline. In the Dominican Republic, dial 9-1-1 for emergencies.
Understand the healthcare system in your destination Knowing the difference between public and private care, payment policies, and language barriers can save time in a crisis.
Starting the year with smart health planning allows you to focus on what matters—discovery, connection, and making memories.
Wherever 2026 takes you, take MedOne with you. Travel safe, travel protected.
