They carry a stethoscope, an oxymeter and oxygen tanks and thermometers. The first aid kit contains, among other items: Diamox (which treats symptoms of altitude sickness), painkillers, bandages and water purifying tablets.
As per standard health and safety procedures the Guide uses a “Client Assessment Form” to monitor the health progress of the person. As Mt. Kilimanjaro is not a highly-technical mountain, other recommended safety support gear are walking poles and good hiking boots.
