Risks and Challenges Associated with the Trip
Overview
The chosen population is the Northern Congo, where the health challenge, malaria, is
highly prevalent. This is associated with a poor environment- poor drainage and care of the
surroundings, and a tropical climate, among other issues. The social, geographical, and systemic
inequities associated with these issues have also contributed to the high prevalence rates and the
disproportionate outcomes for pregnant women and children in the region. This region has high
contamination and infection rates of malaria, which pose significant risks for individuals
travelling to these regions. The inadequate healthcare facilities and lack of equipment in these
regions also pose high risks for the populations, especially foreigners. This report analyses the
risks associated with the planned intervention to address the highly prevalent malaria in the
region. This will include the individuals experiencing the high risk, the anticipated outcomes,
and the approaches to address the prevailing risks.
Occupational Health
There are various occupational health risks associated with the intervention, including
exposure to needle injuries due to diagnostic and medical administration processes. These are
high-risk occurrences and are highly likely to happen during the intervention. These risks carry
significant health issues, including contamination, infection, and life-threatening diseases.
Travelling to remote areas for the intervention also poses significant health issues for
individuals. These include snake bites, road accidents due to poor road infrastructure, and
violence in the regions where locals are not receptive to outsiders. These issues are moderate-risk
and are moderately likely to happen. However, they can be life-threatening and may lead to
death in severe cases. There are also high crime rates, especially in the urban regions; therefore,
individuals will be highly affected. During interventions such as insecticide spraying, it is
