Travellers Medical / First Aid Kits

So what do I need to take in order to treat myself against bumps and bruises and various illnesses on the road?

 
The likelihood is that most places you visit will have medical supplies available.

 
The idea of packing some medical supplies and equipment is more so to have something close at hand that can get you through a certain situation or serve you before you seek out medical attention or medical supplies.
