Correct Answer : D
On January 12, 2024, Cabo Verde attained malaria-free certification from the World Health Organization (WHO), a significant global health milestone. This makes Cabo Verde the third African country to achieve this status, following Mauritius in 1973 and Algeria in 2019. Notably, Cabo Verde is the first Sub-Saharan African nation to gain malaria-free certification in the last 50 years. The designation is granted when a country successfully halts indigenous transmission by Anopheles mosquitoes for at least three consecutive years and demonstrates the capability to prevent potential re-emergence.
