malaria

Treatment is cheap and easy. Can be bought at any pharmacy for 7 Ghana cedis (or less) (about US$3.50)

No doctor or hospital visit required.

I just did this myself this week.

There are certain degrees of treatment.

We may have:

1.  prevention
2.  Mild infection
3.  Serious infection
4.  Air cargo.

I have been thru' all the above except air cargo; touch wood; and treatments and prevention are relatively economical and the only serious infection that I had was attended by a voluntary organization.

If one has to seek clinical assistance, it may involve drips, medications and observation and I believe this may not be so economical if it is attended by private clinic but may be bearable if attended by government clinics and hospital.

All the same, I do not have the current figures on cost as my cases went far back in time and hope others can contribute.
