Malaria Warning on Thai-Burmese Border
By Sai Silp
June 26, 2006
A malaria warning was issued on Monday to tourists planning to visit the Burmese-Thai border area near Mae Sot in Thailand’s Tak province.
Dr Kanoknart Pisuthikul, director of Mae Sot Hospital, told The Irrawaddy that early rains were increasing the risk of contracting malaria and dengue fever. Although Thailand’s public health program was reducing the annual incidence of malaria cases, “migrant workers and villagers living along the border are still at high risk from mosquito-borne diseases."
Tak province accounts for 25 percent of malaria cases in Thailand, Dr Kanoknart said.
The worst hit districts in the province are those on the Burma border: Mae Sot, Mae Ramat, Tha Song Yang, Phop Phra and Umphang.
Around 900 cases of malaria were treated in May at Dr Cynthia’s Mae Tao Clinic, near Mae Sot. A clinic spokesperson said, “This month [June] already looks as if there will be as many again, if not more. We expect once the heavy rains start in July and August to be swamped by people coming from Burma with malaria.”
The clinic treats up to 80,000 Burmese people a year for malaria, workplace accidents, landmine injuries, malnourishment, birth complications and respiratory infections.
