Health Advice

Each participant is requested to complete a health form which should be returned to Sangam prior to your arrival. Please download the form.  This information is kept confidential and held by the Sangam First Aider.  It may be needed if a visit to the doctor is necessary during your stay.  

As far in advance as possible before departure, (ideally 6 months), it is strongly recommended that you consult with a travel health specialist regarding what immunisations and medications you should consider for your trip.   Sangam is not able to provide any advice on this issue. 

Mosquitoes abound all year round and insect repellent is strongly recommended along with appropriate clothing to wear at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are the most active.  Coils are provided in all rooms and nets are available on request.  If you are particularly sensitive to insect bites, please bring your own antihistamine cream and tablets.

As well as a member of staff acting as First Aider, Sangam has contacts with very well trained and reliable doctors (both western and traditional methods) who are easily available.  Illnesses here can progress very quickly so it is important if you are not feeling well during your stay that you let someone know.  Most medicines are easily purchased from pharmacies here, however for convenience and comfort, we advise you to bring your own medicines for ailments such as diarrhoea, constipation, colds, menstrual cramps, allergies, etc.

It is strongly recommended that you take out a travel health insurance policy as all expenses related to any health problem or accident will be your own responsibility.  Sangam will not be liable for injury, damage or loss to person or property.
