STORYLINE:

Egypt received a certification of malaria elimination on Sunday following an official recognition by the World Health Organization (WHO) of the country's malaria-free status at the 2024 Global Congress on Population, Health and Human Development in the New Administrative Capital, east of Cairo.

In a video speech during the congress, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom congratulated Egypt for reaching this achievement, which represents another milestone after the country's success in eliminating Hepatitis C.

Malaria, a disease caused by a parasite transmitted through mosquito bites, typically manifests with severe symptoms such as high fever and shaking chills in affected individuals.

Malaria has been present in Egypt since around 4000 BC, with genetic evidence found in Tutankhamun and other mummies, according to the WHO.
