Malaria

Overview

Elimination from the WHO European Region by 2015

The WHO European Region aims to interrupt the transmission of malaria and eliminate the disease from the remaining 5 countries affected by malaria by 2015: Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan. The number of reported cases has dropped dramatically, from 90 712 in 1995 to only 176 in 2010.

Eliminating malaria from the Region by 2015 is a realistic and attainable goal. Turkmenistan attained malaria-free status in 2010, and Armenia is expected to follow in 2011.
