Gauteng records over 1 000 positive cases of malaria this year
The Gauteng health department has announced that the province has recorded 1 103 malaria cases and 11 deaths over nine months this year.
It remains worrying that from January to September this year, Gauteng recorded 1103 cases with 11 deaths. Most recorded cases in the province are from Mozambique, followed by Malawi, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia. For every person who dies, it is one death too many; therefore, we are working with multiple stakeholders, including the tourism and transport sectors, to fight this disease.
Nkomo-Ralehoko called on the public, especially those who recently travelled to and from malaria-endemic areas, to seek medical treatment when they experience malaria-related symptoms, which include fever, chills, headaches, and other flu-like symptoms.“With the festive season fast approaching, we encourage people who will travel to and from malaria-endemic areas to take prophylaxis before their visits.
