Currently there are medicines available to treat falciparum malaria-the most prevalent form of the disease in Africa-but this requires a 3-day treatment course. Ideally, we need a drug that needs just one administration to ensure that treatment can be directly observed by the healthcare worker.
Also, anyone travelling to Kenya should keep in mind that in Kenya, malaria is widespread. Some regions of Kenya are safer, in particular those in high altitude (above 2,500 metres), as well as the area around Nairobi. The illness is less common in Northern Africa, which is marked as a low risk region.
