We are pioneers in our field of expertise and are groundbreaking and innovative. But we always start from our main goal: optimally respond to the needs of the traveller. In addition, Tropicare works to rid the world of malaria. We want to achieve this by 2030. We donate 1 percent of our turnover to the Dutch Malaria Foundation (Nederlandse Malariastichting). When you buy a Care Plus® product, you really contribute to a malaria-free world.
Our mission
The Travel Health Group’s mission is a malaria-free world by 2030. This is a very ambitious objective that drives our team and partners. Malaria is a severe infectious disease that affects more than 214 million people and causes 430 thousand deaths per year, most of which are children under the age of 5. We donate 1% of our annual turnover to projects that are committed to ridding the world of malaria.

Our team
Primmed was founded by Pieter Aalbersberg in 1989. The company started with a focus on safer travelling.
In the beginning, Pieter imported vaccinations and immunoglobulins (antibodies). This led to a demand for information and education in addition to prevention. Pieter didn’t just want to inform doctors, hospitals and the health service, but also the travelers. Care Plus was founded to develop a variety of travel products.
Care Plus is an authentic Dutch company with over 25 years of experience in the field of travel and health. We are market leaders in central Europe and are committed to inform and facilitate travelers regarding safe and healthy travels.
