TRAVEL HEALTH REMINDER: Malaria Prevention for At-Risk Destinations

Every year, thousands of travellers depart from Scotland to vibrant destinations across Africa, from Detty December in Nigeria and Ghana to the **Cape Town Jazz Festival** and **Sauti za Busara in Zanzibar**. These journeys bring joy, culture, and unforgettable experiences.

But while you enjoy the music and celebrations, **malaria remains a serious risk in many African countries**.

This short video, created by **Influence Charity in Aberdeen**, introduces the **ABCD of malaria prevention** recommended by the World Health Organization and UK health authorities:
– **A – Awareness:** Know the risk before you travel.
– **B – Bite prevention:** Use repellent, cover up, and sleep safely.
– **C – Chemoprophylaxis:** Take the right malaria tablets.
– **D – Diagnose quickly:** Treat fever after travel as an emergency.

👉 **Plan ahead. Protect yourself. Enjoy your journey safely.**
