What are some things a post kidney transplant patient should take note of when travelling?

Updated by SGH-TRANSPLANTPEDIA
1. Always carry your medications in your hand luggage. - Do not check them into baggage in case of loss or delay. This ensures uninterrupted and timely dosing. 2. Bring extra medication supply. - Pack additional doses to cover potential delays, extended travel, or unexpected losses. 3. Obtain a travel memo. - Inform your transplant doctor or coordinator before travel to get a memo supporting carriage of medications (especially for security checks) and in case of need to seek medical attention overseas. 4. Maintain infection precautions. - Wear a mask during travel and throughout the flight to reduce infection risk
