Travellers with Disabilities/Cancer
“Always pack extra medication in case of delays and keep it in its original packaging for customs. Having a doctor’s note explaining your condition and prescriptions can save time if any questions come up. It’s also a good idea to research pharmacies or medical facilities near your destination so you’re prepared if you need refills or medical assistance.”
