Courvoisier (Helio Courvoisier) S. A.
Issued in 1962, this stamp commemorates the World United Against Malaria campaign, an international public health initiative supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) to combat one of the world's most widespread and deadly infectious diseases. During the mid-twentieth century, countries around the globe participated in coordinated efforts to reduce malaria through mosquito control programs, public health education, improved medical treatment, and preventive measures aimed at protecting vulnerable populations.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the United Kingdom of Libya demonstrated its support for international health cooperation and the global fight against malaria. The issue highlighted the importance of disease prevention, public health awareness, and scientific collaboration in improving living conditions and reducing the impact of infectious diseases, while emphasizing the shared responsibility of nations in promoting healthier communities worldwide.
