The programme • From NMCP (1953) and NMEP (1958) to NVBDCP, now NCVBDC • Diseases covered: malaria, lymphatic filariasis, kala-azar, dengue, chikungunya and Japanese encephalitis • A centrally sponsored programme under the National Health Mission 2. Malaria elimination: frameworks and targets • National Framework for Malaria Elimination (NFME) 2016–2030 • National Strategic Plan (NSP) for Malaria Elimination 2023–2027 • Interim target: zero indigenous malaria cases by 2027 • Final goal: malaria elimination across India by 2030, and preventing re-establishment of transmission • Categorisation of states and districts by their level of transmission • WHO certification: after 3 consecutive years of zero indigenous cases 3. Key strategies • Surveillance as a core intervention: case-based surveillance, case investigation and focus response • Early Diagnosis and Complete Treatment (EDCT) • Integrated Vector Management (IVM) • Behaviour change communication and community participation • Inter-sectoral convergence • Special focus on tribal, forest, border, urban and migrant populations • Intensified Malaria Elimination Project-3 (IMEP-3) in high-burden districts 4. Early diagnosis and complete treatment • Diagnosis by microscopy (thick and thin smears) and Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) at the village level by ASHAs • P. vivax: chloroquine plus primaquine (radical cure) • P. falciparum: Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) plus single-dose primaquine • Management of severe malaria and referral • Quality-assured diagnosis through the National Reference Laboratory network 5. Integrated Vector Management (IVM) • Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) • Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) • Larval source management: anti-larval measures and source reduction • Biological control: larvivorous fish (Gambusia and guppy) • Environmental management and personal protection • Insecticide resistance monitoring 6. Monitoring and evaluation indicators • Annual Parasite Incidence (API) = positive cases in a year ÷ population × 1,000 • Annual Blood Examination Rate (ABER) = blood smears examined in a year ÷ population × 100 • Slide Positivity Rate (SPR) • Slide Falciparum Rate (SFR) • Annual Falciparum Incidence (AFI) • Proportion of Pf cases (Pf percent) • Number of districts and states with zero indigenous cases QUICK EXAM POINTS • NFME period: 2016–2030; NSP for malaria elimination: 2023–2027 • Zero indigenous malaria cases targeted by 2027; elimination by 2030 • API is the main indicator of malaria burden, used to classify areas • ABER reflects the efficiency of surveillance (expected to be about 10 percent) • P. vivax radical cure needs primaquine for 14 days (after checking for G6PD deficiency where possible) • Larvivorous fish used in India: Gambusia and guppy • WHO certifies elimination after 3 consecutive years of zero indigenous transmission WHO IS THIS FOR?
