On World Malaria Day, experts look at how Europe became
malaria-free and how other regions can accomplish the same feat.
Just in time for World Malaria Day, the World Health
Organization (WHO) announced last week that Europe is officially malaria-free.
However, getting rid of the disease in Africa, where 90
percent of the hundreds of thousands of annual malaria deaths are reported, is
still out of reach. Some of the strategies employed in Europe are transferable to Africa – including political collaboration across borders.
