At GEC, your health and well-being are our top priority. Given the ever-changing global health landscape, we’ve implemented thorough protocols to create a safe and secure environment for everyone participating in our programs. These protocols include:
Health Screening Before Departure:
All participants must complete a detailed health questionnaire before leaving. This helps us identify any pre-existing conditions or potential health concerns that might require extra attention during your program.
Vaccinations and Immunizations:
We strongly recommend staying up-to-date on routine vaccinations according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and relevant health authorities’ guidelines. Depending on your program location and activities, specific vaccinations or immunizations may be mandatory. Please check with us before departure.
COVID-19 Safety Precautions:
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have strict protocols aligned with global health organizations and local authorities. These include pre-departure COVID-19 testing, vaccination verification, mask-wearing, regular disinfection practices, physical distancing, and continuous symptom monitoring throughout the program.
Emphasis on Hygiene and Sanitation:
We emphasize the importance of good personal hygiene while traveling. Regularly wash your hands with soap and water or use the hand sanitizers we provide. We ensure our accommodations and program locations maintain high cleanliness standards, with frequent disinfection of common areas and surfaces.
Medical Care and Support:
We have established partnerships with respected medical facilities at all program sites. In case of medical emergencies, trained professionals will be available to address various health issues. Our staff is also equipped with first-aid training for immediate assistance when needed.
Comprehensive Health Insurance:
To guarantee access to quality medical care, all participants must have comprehensive health insurance valid for the entire program duration.
Communication and Emergency Preparedness:
Our team continuously monitors global health conditions and keeps participants informed of any updates or changes in health procedures. We provide emergency contact details for participants and their families, ensuring clear communication channels throughout the program. We understand the unpredictable nature of situations and have developed contingency plans to handle any unforeseen health-related circumstances or emergencies. Our adaptable team is prepared to make necessary program changes to prioritize your safety and well-being.
