EXPATRIATE HEALTH
Depression
A generally reported percentage from people in the expatriate community doing our type of work is 40-50% clinical depression. And a large number of these people should consider medications since they cannot change their situational causes of depression. Commonly the psychotherapeutic drugs are not easily obtained in developing world situations.
Automobile Injuries
Car-car or car-pedestrian injuries are the leading cause of death in expatriate health.
Water accidents
Infectious disease contact, especially fresh water
Drownings
Tides
Adverse animal encounters
Rabies
Insects
Poisonous snakes
Adverse people encounters
Robbery, assault
Those opposed to your presence in their country
MISCELLANEOUS (Back to top)
Some pharmaceutical products in the developing world are not of the same quality as those under
strict U.S. guidelines, but many of the standard drugs are. Generally trusted hospital systems know who the reliable manufacturers are for that country. One should not go to just any corner pharmacy without having some sense of the integrity of that institution.
Tertiary high level care may not be available in the country to which you are going, especially for children, pregnancy and neonates.
