Mauritius maintains constant vigilance to prevent malaria's return

Mauritius, one of Africa's wealthiest nations, was certified malaria-free for the first time in 1973, according to an article published by Le Monde.

According to the newspaper, preventing the disease's return represents a daily battle that requires heightened vigilance. This surveillance extends from the island's streets to the airport, where authorities track the presence of mosquitoes capable of reintroducing malaria to the territory.

Le Monde emphasizes that this status, achieved more than fifty years ago, requires constant effort from Mauritian authorities to keep the country safe from the disease.
