According to WHO, from 30 million malaria cases in the 1940s, China brought down the number to zero in the last four years.
“Today we congratulate the people of China on ridding the country of malaria,’’ Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, said.
“Their successes were hard-earned and came only after decades of targeted and sustained action.

“China joins the growing number of countries that are showing the world that a malaria-free future is a viable goal.”
According to WHO, 40 countries and territories have been granted a malaria-free certification including, most recently, El Salvador (2021), Algeria (2019), Argentina (2019), Paraguay (2018) and Uzbekistan (2018).
China’s efforts against malaria started in the 1950s as the disease was rampant in the southern part of the country, close to other hotspots in mainland south-east Asia.
