A minimal malaria risk, exclusively in the benign
vivax form, exists from May to October in rural areas
of the following provinces: Beni Mellal, Chefchaou�n, El Kel�a
Srarhna, Larache, Khouribga, Kh�nifra, Kh�misset, Settat,
Taounate and Taza.
Bottled water is available and is advised for the first few
weeks of stay. Drinking water outside main cities and towns
may be contaminated and sterilisation is advisable. Milk is
unpasteurised and should be boiled. Powdered or tinned milk is
available and is advised, but make sure that it is
reconstituted with pure water. Avoid dairy products which are
likely to have been made from unboiled milk. Only eat well
cooked meat and fish, preferably served hot. Salad and
mayonnaise may carry increased risk. Vegetables should be
cooked and fruit peeled.
Bilharzia (schistosomiasis) is present in small
foci. Avoid swimming and paddling in fresh water. Swimming
pools which are well chlorinated and maintained are safe.
Soil parasites are also present; visitors should wear
shoes. Hepatitis A and E also occur.
Immunisations are sometimes recommended for hepatitis B,
tuberculosis and diptheria.
Rabies is
present. For those at high risk, vaccination before arrival
should be considered. If you are bitten, seek medical advice
without delay.
There are good medical facilities in all main cities,
including emergency pharmacies (sometimes in the Town Hall)
outside normal opening hours. Government hospitals provide
free or minimal charge emergency treatment. Full health
insurance is essential.

Muslim festivals are timed according to local sightings of various phases of the moon and the dates given above are approximations. During the lunar month of Ramadan that precedes A�d al-Fitr, Muslims fast during the day and feast at night and normal business patterns may be interrupted. Some disruption may continue into A�d al-Fitr itself. A�d al-Fitr and A�d al-Adha may last anything from two to ten days, depending on the region. |
