Errors on NPA malaria chart

The National Pharmaceutical Association's blue information chart on malaria prophylaxis is being reprinted owing to an error on the original version.

In the “key to regimens”, the last regimen should read: “PROPHYLAXIS 6 — no chemoprophylaxis required. Use insect repellents, mosquito nets and wear long sleeved clothing after dusk.” For the United Arab Emirates, the prophylaxis should be regimen 6 for all areas.

Members are asked to discard the blue copy on receipt of the reprinted copy, which will be pale yellow. The reprinted copy will be included with the February issue of the Supplement.
