TL;DRAbstract

because of a strong possibility that following European military contingents are going to be relocated to East Africa to carry out the mandatory tasks, in relation to the occurrence of difficult climatic conditions and low sanitary standards, it is necessary to undertake appropriate preventive measures before the departure (compulsory/recommended vaccinations, antimalarial chemoprophylaxis, stocks of medicines to be taken by soldiers for an extended period of time, prevention and treatment kits), throughout the deployment (acclimatization, avoiding alcohol, water and electrolytes replenishment, using antimalarial chemoprophylaxis and repellents), and after returning from the area of operation (terminal chemoprophylaxis of malaria, reporting any health problem to health care facilities).
