Feeling Sick during vacation? Feeling Sick during vacation?

At Your Service: Experienced Doctor & Pharmacy under one Roof

PALM BEACH — Feeling sick is a misera-
ble thing during vacation. This is the time
of the year you should enjoy and relax,
so staying in a hotel room bed with a sun-
stroke, skin allergy, ear infection or intesti-
nal problems can be a bummer. The best
thing to do is to recover as soon as pos-
sible, and Dr. Lili Beke of the Aruba Walk-in
Clinic, together with Palm Beach Service
Pharmacy are a one-stop-shopping solu-
tion.

A Walk-In Clinic to Walk To and disorientated. I can understand that and try to give
First of all she is calm, kind and understand- them comprehension and a welcome feeling while ex-

with more than 35 years of experience as a bit sick.” The doctor speaks seven languages: English,
a medical doctor she knows what’s going Dutch, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Papiamen-
on. Doctor Beke is located in Palm Beach, to, meaning she can attend to almost any tourist from all
at the door steps of the hotel area and over the world. “You can come in without an appoint-

ba Walk-In Clinic. “I’d like to put myself in 24/7, if necessary I will visit the patient where he/she is

place, sometimes far from family or even as follows: As long as you enjoy what you are doing and
alone and feeling sick. You can feel lost

sounds like the perfect place to heal.

Pharmacy & Drug Store with a Recipe for Success
Two quality parties that work together can only be a
good thing. After you pick up your prescription at Dr.
Beke’s practice, you can go to the Pharmacy, right next
door. The collaboration between these two results in a
quick, efficient and quality service. It’s just what you need
when you feel the only thing you want is healing. Lennert
van der Poel, general manager of the Pharmacy, which
is part of a Group of 5 pharmacies, points out that con-
venience is not their only unique asset. “We carry a wide
variety of medicines from the US, but most of the medi-
cines come from the EU. The prices in the EU are consid-
erately lower than in the U.S.” All medicine are European
registered with the same standard as U.S. products. “The
law in the States allows visitors to get medicines here for
the use of six months and many repeated guests or time
share owners do so. This saves them a lot of money. It
is however mandatory to have a prescription from a lo-
cal doctor”, says van der Poel. Most common medicines
requested by visitors are antibiotic, pain killers and anti-
allergy medications.
Naturally we wish you the healthiest, most wonderful va-
cation of your life on our Happy Island. But …. In case
you are in need of a doctor and a pharmacy, just turn
around, walk in and feel welcome to be cured!q
