TRAVEL HEALTH & BEAUTY

aving advance knowledge
regarding where to find the
right medical care is crucial
when travelling. Don’t put yourself in a panic
position in an emergency situation by going
without appropriate care and the right doctor.
Dr. Meike Magnasofa, M.Med (WH),
Medical Director at BIMC Hospital Kuta,
explains, “The most important ingredient of
care is being comfortable with your doctor
and vice versa.” Dr. Magnasofa stresses
to the doctors under her direction that
fulfilling their roll is not merely being adept
in medical practices but having thorough
compassion for people, being caring and
genuinely concerned for their wellbeing. “We
first responders are a patient’s initial line of
care, and very frequently the patient’s friend
and confidant on all matters related to their
health.”
