module menu icon Who is at high risk if they contract malaria?

There are certain travellers that are at an increased risk of developing complications if they are diagnosed with malaria which includes:

  • Pregnant women
  • Babies and children under the age of five
  • Elderly people
  • People with suppressed immunity e.g. HIV or AIDS.

Migrants who were born in malaria risk areas and then return to visit friends and relatives may be at a higher risk as they believe they are immune to malaria and won’t seek travel advice before travelling.
