Canadian Recommendations for the Prevention and Treatment of Malaria Among International Travellers

Appendix VI

Contact Information for the Canadian Malaria Network

Parenteral quinine is the drug of choice for the treatment of severe and complicated malaria in Canada. To facilitate the acquisition of parenteral quinine, the Canadian Malaria Network (previously the Malaria Centres of Excellence) was established in conjunction with Health Canada's Travel Medicine Program to pre-position parenteral quinine stocks across Canada for the treatment of individuals with severe or complicated malaria. The main purpose of each of these centres is to provide, through the pharmacy, 24-hour access to this life-saving drug. As an additional service, if requested, the designated physician for each centre can provide assistance in management of malaria cases. These centres also gather surveillance data for all patients treated with parenteral quinine. The surveillance data (collected at time of diagnosis and on day 28) are essential in our efforts to improve malaria prevention, diagnosis, and management in Canada. The following hospital centres across Canada have been identified as participants in the Canadian Malaria Network. Each Centre will have depositories of parenteral quinine for the treatment of severe malaria and can provide guidance in the management of malaria infections

To obtain parenteral quinine, please contact the listed pharmacy in your area. The designated physician for each Centre can be used as a resource for any questions you may have with regard to the treatment of malaria. For after-hours assistance please contact the infectious disease consultant on call at the appropriate Centre.
