Culture Of Prevention

The concept of a prevention culture is implicitly based on the concept of a safety culture. Both utilize a cultural approach. A safety culture aims to reduce work-related risks, whereas a prevention culture aims to reduce both work-related and nonwork-related risks 

Chloroquine: This drug is taken once a week, starting about 1 to 2 weeks before your trip and continuing for 4 weeks after. But chloroquine is rarely used anymore, because it no longer works against P. falciparum, the most common and dangerous type of malaria parasite.

Malaria is treated with antimalarial drugs and measures to control symptoms, including medications to control fever, antiseizure medications when needed, fluids and electrolytes. The type of medications that are used to treat malaria depends on the severity of the disease and the likelihood of chloroquine resistance.
