Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has named Sri Lanka as a country that has eradicated malaria, there is a risk of malaria spreading once again in the country, says the Ministry of Health.
The reason for this is that malaria is still being an epidemic in neighboring countries including India, according to the Director General of Health Services, Dr. Anil Jasinghe.
