This turquoise 1-naye-paise stamp was released in 1963 to support the World Health Organization's global public health initiative, inscribed vertically with the theme "ANTI MALARIA CAMPAIGN". The symbolic layout depicts a large downward-pointing arrow emanating directly from the official emblem of the WHO (the Rod of Asclepius superimposed on a terrestrial globe grid) and targeting an Anopheles mosquito, the biological vector responsible for transmitting malaria. An oval portrait of Sheikh Saqr bin Sultan Al Qasimi is positioned in the upper right. This issue authorized regular postal communication across Sharjah and its dependencies while highlighting the emirate's institutional participation in international health and sanitation programs.
