In Response to mlindb;
When dealing with malaria in West & Central African countries, I can speak from the following experience.
1. Never trust a UN doctor or their malaria test results.
2. The local doctors may not have the best equipment, but they do know local strain symptoms.
3. The local doctors treat cases everyday and know exactly which antibiotic works for that particular strain. Malaria in Juba is a totally different kettle of fish to Khartoum.
4. Know the symptoms and do not take no for an answer. As Mlindb say's, a strong antibiotic will not kill you but malaria can ! Most times a local doctor will give you a prescription before a UN doctor who is waiting for his mandatory results from his fancy machine.
I am sorry, but the local beer is mandatory. What's the point of going to a foreign country and not try a cold Tusker, Nile Special or White Bull. Yes, stay away from the Primus.....gives you JetA1 guts....
What to take to Juba.....USD for booze and boerewors for the South African expats who will look after you when the
hits the fan....and condoms for the Red-Cross girls.
Enjoy.
