West Africa Malarone Testing

[Guest guest]

Good morning from a snow storm in Greenland,

 

Can someone working offshore down Equitorial Guinea - Congo - Angola areas

advise me

about the anti malria requirements for the oil companies as we may be headed

that way soon to all 3 areas.

 

I understand that anti malaria medication is compulsory and random testing is

done to ensure compliance so I would like to ask for information on how this

testing is done and who does it, we are a small vessel with 45 POB and would be

working for Exxon and Shell.

 

Also any hints on getting medical resupplies and any particular ailments common

to the area bearing in mind we would only be ashore for crew changes, oh yes and

what are safety problems while passing through on crew change ?

 

Thanxaheep.
