If left untreated, the disease can cause severe complications and, in some cases, death. Symptoms of malaria appear after 7 days or more. Bali is an area becoming the most popular tourist destination for foreign tourists from various countries. These conditions allow tourists from malaria-endemic areas to visit Bali, or tourists who have traveled to malaria-endemic areas to visit Bali. Bali itself is not a malaria endemic area, so far there have been no casesof indigenousmalaria originating from Bali. The condition of Bali free of malaria causes health workers rarely find cases. Based on this background, it is very importanttoprovidecounseling and training aimed to improve knowledgeand skillsabout Malaria, life cycle, transmission, prevention, treatment, making preparations and Giemsa staining to identify spesies of plasmodium that cause malaria, before and after counseling and training, participants are given questionnaires.
