Global Travel Club: How It Works
ENABLING TRAVEL. ENRICHING LIVES.
One of the many great benefits of choosing PD is that it gives you the freedom to travel almost anywhere in the world. Through Baxter's global contacts and partnerships, we’re able to safely ship your PD supplies directly to your destination, simplifying and streamlining the process.
When factoring in how long your trip is and the amount of PD supplies required, it’s easy to see just how valuable the Global Travel Club can be.
For example, if you require 12 liters of solution per day to maintain your therapy and you’re traveling for two weeks, you’d have to carry 168 liters of solution with you. Read on to see how Baxter can help arrange for delivery of your solutions to make traveling much more manageable.
| Liters Per Day | Length of Trip | Total Liters Needed |
|---|---|---|
| 12* | 3 days | 36 liters |
| 12* | 7 days | 84 liters |
| 12* | 14 days | 168 liters |
*12 liters per day is a sample prescription used for illustrative purposes only. Your specific numbers may vary.
