Egypt's declaration as malaria-free by WHO is a historic milestone, reflecting the nation's commitment to overcome malaria, an ancient disease first recorded 4,000 B.C.E.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that Egypt's achievement is both inspirational for the region and a testament to the effectiveness of strategic resources and tools.
The rigorous anti-malaria measures in Egypt began in the 1920s, evolving from a 40% prevalence rate during that era to achieving a malaria-free status after years of dedicated effort.
Deputy Prime Minister of Egypt emphasized that receiving the malaria elimination certificate is just the beginning of a new phase towards sustainable health progress for the country.
