Humanity eradicates malaria for the first time in recorded history
Malaria eradication could be certified worldwide by 2054, with the WHO confirming zero indigenous transmission across the 80 countries that once carried the disease. The projection builds on real momentum: mRNA vaccine breakthroughs, hundreds of thousands of community health workers, and a 2024 burden concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa. If it holds, a millennia-old killer becomes something only grandparents remember.
