Book a Malaria Consultation
The Right Malaria Prevention for Your Trip
Malaria prevention is not one-size-fits-all. The recommended medicine can depend on the country and region, season, length and style of travel, access to medical care, age, pregnancy, medical history, current medicines and previous experience with antimalarials. A TMB doctor will review these factors and, when clinically suitable, issue a prescription for the appropriate option. Antimalarial tablets reduce risk but do not provide complete protection, so your consultation will also reinforce mosquito-bite prevention. The doctor will advise which insect repellent is most suitable for your destination and circumstances, and recommended products can be purchased in-house for added protection. You will also be advised what to do if you become unwell during or after travel.
Key Consultation Requirements
Who Should Consider This Service?
- A prescription-only appointment is only available to returning TMB patients; new patients, changed itineraries or changed health circumstances may require a full travel consultation.
- Travellers visiting a destination where malaria prevention may be recommended.
Preparation for Your Appointment
- Bring the exact countries and regions you will visit, travel dates, accommodation and activities, a medication and allergy list, pregnancy or breastfeeding information, and details of any antimalarial medicine used previously. For children, provide an up-to-date weight.
What Happens Next?
Book as soon as your itinerary is confirmed. If antimalarial medicine is prescribed, follow the dosing instructions carefully, complete the course and seek urgent medical advice if you develop fever during or after travel to a malaria area.
