What is Malaria?

Malaria is a serious mosquito-borne disease caused by parasites. It can lead to fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms, and if left untreated, may result in severe illness or complications.

High-Risk Areas for Malaria

Malaria is most commonly found in parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and some tropical regions. The risk varies by location, season, and local mosquito activity.

Steps You Can Take to Prevent Malaria

• Take prescribed antimalarial medication as directed

• Use mosquito repellents and protective clothing

• Sleep under insecticide-treated bed nets when staying in high-risk areas

• Avoid mosquito bites, especially during dawn and dusk

Signs and Symptoms of Malaria

Symptoms may appear 7–30 days after exposure and include:

• Fever and chills

• Headache and fatigue

• Muscle aches

• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea

• In severe cases, jaundice or difficulty breathing

When to Seek Medical Advice

If you develop any symptoms during or after travel to a malaria-risk area, seek medical attention immediately, even if you have been taking antimalarials. Early treatment is critical.
