  6. Distribution of Districts by API

  7. India - Malaria Control Strategies • The three pronged strategy for prevention and control of malaria is: • Early Diagnosis and Prompt Treatment • Disease Surveillance – through MPWs & ASHAs • b. Case Detection & management • c. Epidemic Preparedness and Response

  8. Malaria Control Strategies Cont… • 2. Integrated Vector Control • Indoor Residual Spray • b. Insecticide treated Bednets (ITNs) & Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) • c. Source Reduction

  9. Malaria Control Strategies Contd… • 3. Supportive interventions • Training & Capacity Building • b. Behaviour Change Communication • c. Intersectoral Collaboration • d. Community Participation • d. Public Private Partnership (eg. NGO/ CBOs/ IMA etc.) • e. Monitoring, Evaluation & Supportive Supervision • f. Legislation

  10. Early Diagnosis and Prompt Treatment • a. Disease Surveillance • Conducted through: • Passive and active surveillance for case Detection • B. Sentinel Surveillance for severe cases and deaths • b. Malaria Diagnosis • Microscopy • Rapid Diagnostic Tests • c. Microscopy • Slides collected by MPWs • Slides examined in microscopy centers in PHCs • 95 million slides were examined in 2007 • d. Rapid Diagnostic Tests • MPWs/ ANMs /ASHAs trained on RDTs • Test in remote inaccessible areas endemic for P.falciparum

  11. Scaling up of Service Delivery • Engaging 9655 contractual MPWs against vacancies for surveillance • Vacancies of LTs: 6822 (Sanctioned – 23236) • Engaging LTs against vacancies under Global Fund, WB Project and also through NRHM • 117 thousand ASHAs trained with special focus on use of RDTs for diagnosis and ACT for treatment

  12. RDT Supply vs. Need • At Present 100 million slides collected • Pf Specific RDT in Use • 50% of cases are Pf • Pf cases are mostly confined to 250 million population • 40 % of Pf cases are in remote areas

  13. Scaling up RDTs • Introduced in 2003-04 and gradually scaled up • Used in inaccessible and remote areas • At Present monovalent RDTs ( only for PF) are being used • Training of community volunteers in RDT and drug delivery

  14. Treatment of Cases • Chloroquine was the Drug of Choice for both Pv & Pf till emergence of resistance in Pf • Pf Monitoring (Parasite Sensitivity of anti-malarials) started in 1977 • SP adopted as 2nd line treatment for treatment of Pf cases in CQ resistant areas in 1982. • Combination therapy of Artesunate plus SP adopted in 2004 for treatment of Pf cases in CQ resistant areas. • Use of ACT extended to cluster of blocks and 7 pilot districts under the programme since 2007 • According to Revised Drug Policy (2008) ACT is 1st line drug for Pf in all high endemic areas in addition to CQ resistant and surrounding blocks.

  15. ACT Supply vs. Need • 1.8 Million Total Malaria Cases • 50 % Pf Proportion • ACT rolled out as first line treatment of Pf cases in 117 districts • Eventually will cover 95% of Pf cases

  16. Scaling up ACT

  17. Integrated Vector Control • Indoor Residual Spray • 1953 – entire country uniformly sprayed • 1977 - MPO adopted (areas with API > 2 covered with IRS) • Currently high risk areas API > 3 covered with IRS during the transmission season • 90 Million of Country’s population targeted annually and coverage is 80% • Insecticide used: DDT, Malathion, Synthetic Pyrethroids

  18. b. Insecticide treated Bednets (ITNs) & Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) • Introduced in high risk areas in 2001 • Plain Bed-nets procured so far are mainly used in • - GFATM Project • - WB Project • Efforts are on to introduce LLIN • Use guided by epidemiological and entomological parameters or IRS operational difficulty

  19. ITNs Actual vs. Need

  20. Scaling up ITNs

  21. GIS Mapping Based identification of High Risk Areas Eg. Problematic Villages Identified through GIS for Focus Intervention in District Nalbari, Assam (2006)

  22. Other Vector Control Methods • LARVICIDING & ADULT CONTROL • Undertaken in urban set up with temephos, pirimiphos methyle & Biological larvicide (Bti) & pyrethrum extract 2% as adulticide • 131 major towns are covered • Target population is 112.6 million • LARVIVOROUS FISH • Cost effective & environment friendly method • Emphasis on perennial water bodies as hatcheries • Over 2191 district level & 19023 Block/ PHC level hatcheries established • No of water bodies seeded are 192,781

  23. Improving Access to & Use of Malaria Prevention and control Services • WORLD BANK PROJECT TARGETS • > 80% of population in high-risk project areas protected by ITNs or IRS • > 80% of RDT positive cases among adults receiving ACT no later than the day after the first contact • To be adopted in all high endemic areas

  24. Meeting the Gaps • Additional inputs provided through Global fund & World Bank Projects • A. HUMAN RESOURCE • PMUs at National, State Level • District Level – DVBDC Consultant, MTS • B. COMMODITIES • ITNs/ LLIns • Synthetic pyrethroids • RDT • ACT

  25. RBM Partnership’s vision Substantial and sustained reduction in the burden of malaria in the near and mid-term, and the eventual global eradication of malaria in the Long term, when new tools make eradication possible.

  26. Targets of the GMAP : • •Achieve universal coverage, for all populations at risk with locally appropriate interventions for prevention and case management by 2010 and sustain universal coverage until Local field research suggests that coverage can gradually be targeted to high risk areas and seasons only, without risk of a generalized resurgence; • •Reduce global malaria cases from 2000 Levels by 50% in 2010 and by 75% in 2015; • •Reduce global malaria deaths from 2000 Levels by 50% in 2010 and to near zero preventable deaths in 2015; • •Eliminate malaria in 8-10 countries by 2015 and afterwards in all countries in the pre-elimination phase today; and • •In the long term, eradicate malaria world-wide by reducing the global incidence to zero through progressive elimination in countries.

  27. India’s Progress • •The programme adopted universal coverage during 1960’s when eradication was contemplated. • Subsequent resurgence in certain areas resulted in adoption of targeted approach in high risk areas • Country on track for SUFI & Universal Coverage of control interventions in these areas • Partnerships forged with WHO, Global Fund, World Bank & Private Partners • 28% reduction in Malaria Morbidity from baseline of 2000 • Around 70% of country’s population under sustained control

  29. GMAP Vision Vision is of a world free from the burden of malaria. By 2015: the malaria-specific MDG is achieved, and malaria is no longer a major cause of mortality and no longer a barrier to social and economic development and growth any where in the world. Beyond 2015: all countries and partners sustain their political and financial commitment to malaria control efforts. The burden of malaria never rises above the 2015 level, ensuring that malaria does not re-emerge as a global threat. In the long term: global malaria eradication is achieved. There is no malaria infection in any country. Malaria control efforts can be stopped.

  30. Targets • By 2010, through targeting universal coverage: • 80% of people at risk from malaria are using locally appropriate vector control methods such as long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), indoor residual spraying (IRS) and, in some settings, other environmental and biological measures • 80% of malaria patients are diagnosed and treated with effective anti-malarial treatments; in areas of high transmission, • 100% of pregnant women receive intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp); • and • the global malaria burden is reduced by 50% from 2000 levels: to less than 175-250 million cases and 500,000 deaths annually from malaria.

  31. • By 2015: • − universal coverage continues with effective interventions; • − global and national mortality is near zero for all preventable deaths; • − global incidence is reduced by 75% from 2000 levels: to less than 85-125 million cases per year; • − the malaria-related Millennium Development Goal is achieved: halting and beginning to reverse the incidence of malaria by 2015; • and • − at least 8-10 countries currently in the elimination stage will have achieved zero incidence of locally transmitted infection.

  32. • Beyond 2015: • − global and national mortality stays near zero for all preventable deaths; • − universal coverage (which translates to ~80% utilization) is maintained for all populations at risk until local field research suggests that coverage can gradually be targeted to high risk areas and seasons only, without risk of a generalized resurgence; and • − countries currently in the pre-elimination stage will achieve elimination.
