Aivis Ceriņš, a TV personality known for the travel show 'Četri uz koferiem', faced a dire situation while filming in Rwanda. After a night of festivities, his health deteriorated rapidly, leading to serious concerns about a possible malaria infection. Initially dismissing his mild fatigue as mere exhaustion, he was later overwhelmed by symptoms including intense vomiting, burning eyes, and fever the following morning.

Recognizing the seriousness of his condition, Ceriņš sought help from hotel staff, asking them to call for medical assistance. He recounted the distressing experience, saying, "I understand that I need to go to the hospital because I need antibiotics." The uncertainty the hotel staff showed regarding the arrival time of an ambulance shocked him, leaving him anxious and in a critical state. Ultimately, realizing the urgency of the situation, hotel employees took it upon themselves to transport him to a nearby hospital given his inability to walk due to high fever.

This incident underscores the risks travelers may face in regions where malaria is prevalent and reflects the importance of prompt medical attention in emergencies. Ceriņš's story serves as a reminder for others traveling to such areas to take necessary precautions against mosquito-borne diseases and the need for immediate, reliable healthcare responses in crisis situations.
