Wherever you go in Portugal or anywhere else in the world, ensure you do the following if you do fall ill on your package holiday:
- See a doctor
- Report your illness to your holiday rep or hotel manager
- Get medication and keep your receipts
- Keep your receipts for any other outlay on healthcare whilst abroad
- Document your illness (symptoms, when it started, how long it lasted etc) and any issues you can visually identify.
- Take a picture if you see anything that doesn’t look quite right in terms of your food, water or the general cleanliness of the hotel.
