Guinea has eliminated sleeping sickness, a disease spread by tsetse flies, in a landmark achievement.

Guinea has successfully eliminated sleeping sickness, a neglected tropical disease, marking the first such achievement for the country. The disease, transmitted by tsetse flies, causes fever, headaches, and neurological issues. This success, recognized by the World Health Organization, is due to years of collaboration between the Guinean government, health partners, and local communities, and comes as a beacon of hope for other nations still battling the disease.
