Yes ideally health insurance policy provides coverage for malaria.

I think, health policy provides malaria cover except same is detected within first 30 days of the policy.

Check with your insurance company that whether it will cover for malaria related treatment expenses or not. In most of the cases it is covered but it’s better to check in advance.

Cost of hospitalization for malaria is generally covered by most insurance companies however, some policies may have initial waiting period of first 30 days from the date of policy inception. In light of this, it would be better to check in advance.
