世界卫生组织6月30日向中国颁发国家消除疟疾认证，称赞中国从上世纪40年代每年报告约3000万疟疾病例、经过70年不懈努力到如今完全消除疟疾，是一项了不起的成就。世卫组织总干事谭德塞在一份声明中表示，中国的成功来之不易，是经过了几十年有针对性的持续行动才取得的。至此，中国加入了越来越多国家的行列，向世界表明无疟疾的未来是一个可行的目标。

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday officially granted China a malaria-free certification as a token of celebration of the country's successful elimination of the disease after 70 years of its struggles against malaria. "Their success was hard-earned and came only after decades of targeted and sustained action," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the group, said in a statement. "With this announcement, China joins the growing number of countries that are showing the world that a malaria-free future is a viable goal," he said.
