Cabo Verde🇨🇻, Mauritius🇲🇺 and Seychelles🇸🇨 have made history as the first countries in sub-Saharan Africa to be certified as having eliminated measles and rubella, two vaccine-preventable diseases.

This historic achievement is the result of strong national leadership and decades of sustained commitment and investment in vaccination to ensure that no child is left unprotected.

I warmly congratulate the governments, communities, health workers and partners who made it possible.

A proud moment for public health in Africa.
