Fifteen years ago, the World Health Organization declared measles elimination achievable, yet recurrent global outbreaks highlight a failure in commitment to this goal. Despite claims from all six WHO regions to eradicate measles by 2030, the lack of explicit global commitment has resulted in devastating outbreaks every five years. This contradiction underscores the need for renewed focus and action in global health initiatives to combat measles effectively.
Despite the initial promise of eradication fifteen years ago by the WHO, lack of global commitment has allowed measles outbreaks to persist every five years.
The WHO’s conclusion that measles eradication was feasible using existing tools highlights the disconnect between potential and the current reality of global health initiatives.
