Understanding Malaria: Prevention and When to Test
By Grace Fred
Malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites and causes fever, chills, headache and body weakness.
Prevention tips:
- Sleep under insecticide-treated nets
- Clear stagnant water around your home
- Use recommended repellents in the evenings
Not every fever is malaria — a rapid diagnostic test at our laboratory confirms it before treatment. Avoid self-medication; visit the clinic for proper testing and appropriate medication.
