However, the travel agency will endeavor to arrange for personnel to assist you with follow-up medical treatment, tailored to your needs. Overseas, there is no equivalent occupation to a nurse, so if you require constant accompaniment during treatment, kindly inform the travel agency promptly.

Therefore, it is crucial to provide the travel agency with your emergency contact details in your home country before departure, in case of emergencies.
