Dec 29, 2024, 10:05 PM
Former President Jimmy Carter passed away at the age of 100, leaving behind a profound legacy in global health, particularly in the fight against Guinea worm disease. Under his leadership, the Carter Center began its efforts against the disease in 1986, when there were approximately 3.5 million cases reported across 21 countries. Thanks to these initiatives, the number of Guinea worm cases has plummeted by over 99.99%, with only seven cases reported worldwide this year. Carter was also recognized for his contributions to strengthening emerging democracies, having monitored over 100 elections globally. His commitment to humanitarian causes and public service has been widely acknowledged by health advocates and leaders alike.
