THE Department of Health (DoH) said it would continue the fight against malaria even though all but one province in the country had been declared free from the parasitic disease.

The aim is to make the country malaria-free by 2030.

Department of Health Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Singh-Vergeire, Dr. Graham Harrison, World Health Organization - Philippines officer-in-charge, and other health officials lead the distribution of plaques of recognition to 16 Malaria-free provinces on Tuesday, April 25, during the DOH’s World Malaria Day 2023 event held at Novotel in Cubao, Quezon City.
