Please take this moment to read up a few things about Delhi:
1. Malarial prophylaxis
2. FCO information for travelers (India)

Interesting readings for next week (Theme: Critical care medicine)

which highlights the diagnosis of delirium requiers

Homework: please summarise the KEY points each topic to no more than 1 A4 sheet, or 7 minutes short presentation.
