São Tomé and Príncipe committed to eliminate malaria [1]

[]

Date: 2025-06

São Tomé ‒ São Tomé and Príncipe has made remarkable strides against malaria. Over the past five years, only two malaria-related deaths have been recorded in the country.

In the first quarter of 2025, the country registered 1293 malaria cases and no deaths. The Autonomous Region of Príncipe, the smaller of the two main islands that constitute São Tomé and Príncipe, registered just three cases of malaria as of March 2025, compared with nine in the same period the year before.

Building on this progress, the National Malaria Elimination Programme (PNEP), with support from World Health Organization (WHO) is leading efforts to spread awareness among communities and sustain focus on overcoming challenges to eliminate malaria.
