Malaria

Cathrine Strømø

If you are from a country in which malaria is widespread, you may have had a considerable degree of inherent immunity before your departure. However, a few years of residence in a country that is malaria-free, such as Norway, will have lessened this immunity.

You are therefore strongly advised to seek guidance before leaving Norway. Advice may be obtained from your local health centre regarding the need for preventive treatment in the country to which you are returning and the type of drug(s) which should be taken before leaving Norway and on arrival in your home country.
