Niverville Medical Clinic was started almost 10 yrs ago by Drs Chris & Mairi Burnett, two family physicians who moved to Manitoba in the 90’s. Both have travelled widely and worked in India, DRC (Africa) and Albania, before settling in rural Manitoba with their 3 boys. Both took their training , and diploma, in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene at the Leopold Institute in Antwerp, Belgium. Dr Chris has continued with an active interest in travel health and is now formally launching this travel health service for our region, with the cooperation of Southern Health. We will also be assisted by a nurse, trained in public health, funded by the clinic, to give what is expected to be, quality and comprehensive advice from our collective experience . There will be times, rarely, when your needs surpass the expertise of the clinic and we may then offer to refer you to a specialist in Infectious Diseases, in Winnipeg 1) Your Manitoba Health card 2) All your current medication ( not just a list) 3) Copy of your travel itinerary 4) Cash or cheque for fees, made payable to:“Niverville Medical Clinic”.
