World United Against Malaria Campaign - 35 fils

Issued in 1962, this stamp commemorates the World United Against Malaria Campaign, an international public health initiative organized under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO). The design features the WHO emblem combined with an Anopheles mosquito, the principal carrier of malaria, symbolizing the global effort to combat a disease that affected millions of people, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. During the mid-twentieth century, countries around the world participated in coordinated programs aimed at malaria prevention, mosquito control, public education, and improved medical treatment.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan demonstrated its support for international health cooperation and the worldwide fight against malaria. The issue highlighted the importance of disease prevention, scientific research, and public health initiatives in protecting communities from infectious diseases. It also emphasized the value of international collaboration through the World Health Organization in improving health standards and promoting the well-being of populations around the globe.
