Thailand verified for eliminating rubella as a public health problem
Reported bywho.int ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Thailand has been verified by the World Health Organization for eliminating rubella as a public health problem, becoming the seventh country in the WHO South-East Asia Region to achieve this milestone. The achievement followed review of disease surveillance data, immunization coverage, and outbreak response by the Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination.
Rubella elimination means endemic transmission has stopped; imported cases remain possible.
