Eliminating malaria

The vision of WHO and the global malaria community is a world free of malaria. When a country has eliminated indigenous transmission of malaria for 3 consecutive years, it can request official certification from WHO. Since 2015, 12 countries have been certified malaria-free by WHO. A key goal of the WHO "Global technical strategy for malaria 2016–2030" is to see malaria eliminated in at least 30 countries by 2030.
