THE HOSPITAL FOR TROPICAL DISEASES
The Hospital for Tropical Diseases is a world centre of excellence combining prevention, treatment and causes of tropical diseases. The Hospital recognises the importance in preventing insect bites. Safe travel involves a dual protection programme: the correct anti-malarial medication along with an effective DEET based insect repellent such as Jungle Formula's Extra Strength Pump Spray or Liquid - approved by the Hospital for use in tropical areas with a high risk of Malaria and other insect transmitted diseases.

Today, the Hospital for Tropical Diseases is at the forefront of the battle against virulent new strains of Malaria. Its Travel Clinic dispenses immunisation and advice to more than 8,000 UK travellers annually. More than 80,000 ring the Travel Clinic Healthline. For many who contract Malaria the hospital provides the specialist diagnosis and treatment.

The Hospital has on its staff the only Consultant Parasitologist, the only Consultant Leprologist and the Consultant in Travel Medicine within the National Health Service, plus a Tropical Opthamologist and Tropical Paediatrician.
