This achievement has been made possible thanks to the continued political investment and dedication of medical professionals, as well as targeted prevention, early detection and treatment of all cases of malaria, the organization said.

To be certified as malaria-free by WHO, a country must provide conclusive evidence that its entire territory has been free of local transmission chains for at least three consecutive years.
