The Working Group on Malaria Chemoprophylaxis was established in January 2011 and reported in April 2013. The purpose of the Group is to review, inter alia, issues arising in relation to the use of Lariam, particularly in the context of the current and potential litigation. The Group was re-convened in August 2015 and is due to complete its report shortly. As with the Group’s original report, the current report is being produced in the context of current and potential litigation and is, therefore legally privileged, as is information about the working group.
