When to see a doctor about malaria
People who have been in a country (or area) which is known for malaria infections and who think they may have been bitten by a mosquito, irrespective of whether or not they have developed any of the symptoms of malaria, should visit their doctor to be provided with medication to prevent malaria.

Anyone who intends to travel to any country where malaria is prevalent (especially Africa) must see their doctor several weeks prior to their travel, in order to be prescribed with anti-malaria medication which can protect against the development of malaria, even if bitten by a parasite-carrying mosquito.
