Huge congratulations Cabo Verde 🇨🇻 on receiving malaria-free certification!
This achievement is a beacon of hope for Africa & beyond. It shows that with strong political will, effective policies, community engagement & multisectoral collaboration, malaria elimination is possible.

As WHO African Region, we appreciate the critical role of data analytics in the fight against diseases.

We had an insightful engagement with Gates Foundation on building synergies to strengthen the use of data and evidence for public health interventions towards #EndingDiseasesInAfrica .

After Algeria and Mauritius, which received their certifications in 1973 and 2019, respectively, Cabo Verde🇨🇻 is the third African country to be declared malaria-free👏🏿!
