WHO Reports 42 Malaria-Free Regions.
TL;DR Summary
The World Health Organization has declared Azerbaijan and Tajikistan malaria-free, bringing the official count of malaria-free territories and nations to 42. Both countries have implemented insecticide and bed-net programs for homes, changed water management practices, and even introduced mosquito-eating fish to control insect larvae. Despite the increase in the list of malaria-free nations, the fight against the disease continues worldwide, with the vast majority of both malaria cases and deaths occurring in the WHO’s African region.
