Questions regarding a few other treatments

My wife and I work with tribal people, and she does do medical work here. So that list of all the different meds for different problems is a big help.
Have a couple of questions.
What do you carry for malaria for SE Asia? We think our area is Chloroquine Phosphate resistant.

What sort of antifungal meds do you use for foot rot? The tribal people often get foot rot, and cannot get rid of it for an entire rainy season.

One last question, is that we have several of our tribal friends, men, who have been carrying heavy for years, so they have a tremendous amount of mileage on their knees. The inside of the back of their knee hurts, possibly the PCL. The obvious answer is to get them to an orthopedic surgeon and get an MRI, but that isn't very easy to do, mostly because they are scared to go to Manila, and terrified of an operation if needed. So any ideas?

Thanks for any help. My son is in the pipeline for SF, right now waiting to get into the next SOPC slot.
