Malaria can quickly kill you. As a tourist, always take malaria pills with you and be well prepared for your holiday when you visit malaria areas and the tropics. Try to avoid tropical diseases.

Malaria can be deadly later on. Where is malaria in the world, what are the malaria areas and how does malaria control work? Quinine was the first medicine against malaria and a vaccine was found in 2015, but it is not yet used on a large scale. In 2020 the WHO will include this vaccine in a vaccination program for children.
