Congrats to #Suriname for becoming the first malaria-free country in the Amazon region!

This milestone is the result of decades of implementing a responsive & inclusive control programme.

However, maintaining this status requires ongoing #surveillance in collaboration with neighbouring countries.

Congratulations 🎉 #Suriname is the first country in the Amazon region to be certified malaria-free by WHO.
