UK malaria guidelines – Dynamic changes for 2017

Malaria prevention guidelines are published each year from Public Health England (PHE). These are written by a panel of experts - the Advisory Committee for Malaria Prevention (ACMP) and form the basis of advice UK healthcare professionals provide to their travellers. Such practice has been ongoing for a number of years, but 2017 sees a significant change in the advice provided for over 30 countries where the recommendation for prevention has gone from a choice of chemoprophylaxis in 2016 to one of bite avoidance instead.
