Malaria free certification: Georgia
The World Health Organization certified Georgia as malaria-free
The World Health Organization (WHO) has certified Georgia as malaria-free [1]. Globally, a total of 45 countries and 1 territory have reached this milestone [1].
A country can apply to the WHO for certification once criteria are met; countries must prove that nationwide, local transmission of all types of human malaria parasites have been interrupted for at least the past three consecutive years. Countries are also required to show they have a fully functional surveillance and response system in place to prevent re-establishment of local transmission [2].
The Country Information page for Georgia has been updated to reflect that malaria is no longer a risk in this country.
