If you become sick or are injured abroad you should seek medical attention locally if you feel you need it. Your travel insurance should cover most medical expenses if you have taken out a comprehensive policy.
If you have travelled with a tour guide or have a tour representative you should contact them in the first instance if your condition is not serious.
Please be aware that medical facilities abroad may differ from those in your country
