Richard Feachem, director of the Global Health Group at the University of California in San Francisco, said on Tuesday that Namibia, Botswana and South Africa are also making “excellent progress” toward eliminating malaria.
Feachem, whose group has worked to curb malaria, told The Associated Press by telephone from Swaziland that the small mountain kingdom would have to have zero cases for three years and undergo a UN World Health Organisation audit to certify the disease has been eliminated within its borders.
He said the Indian Ocean nations of Mauritius and the Seychelles are malaria-free.
