ALGIERS- The health system in Algeria has experienced in 60 years of independence "remarkable progress," particularly in the prevention and fight against serious contagious diseases, which have enabled it in recent years, to obtain three certifications issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), in recognition of its colossal efforts in this field.
Among the first certifications obtained by Algeria from the WHO, that of the eradication of poliomyelitis in 2016, tetanus in pregnant women and newborns in 2018 and malaria in 2019.
Algeria is continuing its efforts to obtain before the end of 2022 another certification for "the elimination of measles, rubella and trachoma".
