The
World Health Organization (WHO) chief on Monday declared Egypt as malaria-free.
"This
certification is truly historic, and a testament to the commitment of the
people and government of Egypt to rid themselves of this ancient scourge,"
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on X.
Congratulating
Egypt on the achievement, Tedros said that this development shows "what’s
possible with the right resources and the right tools."
