This achievement is the culmination of nearly a century of efforts to eradicate the disease, which had been present in the country since ancient times. WHO described the certification as 'truly historic.' Egypt, with its population of over 100 million, has successfully eliminated malaria for the first time, a disease that has long plagued the nation. The certification was announced on Sunday.
