Study Notes
National Framework for Malaria Elimination in India (2016-2030)
- Introduced in 2016, aiming for malaria elimination in India by 2030
- Developed by the Directorate of National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) under the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India
- Framework outlines strategies, targets, and timelines to eliminate malaria, maintain malaria-free status in affected areas, and prevent re-introduction.
- Comprehensive document covering introduction, need for elimination, measuring progress, cost, and next steps.
- Includes detailed annexes on India country profile, history of malaria control, current trends in malaria, Challenges in malaria control, epidemiological situations by state/UT (2000, 2013, 2014), and epidemiological situation for elimination planning by category.
Acronyms
- ABER: annual blood examination rate
- ACT: artemisinin-based combination therapy
- ACT-AL: artemisinin-based combination therapy – artemether-lumefantrine
- ACT-SP: artemisinin-based combination therapy – sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine
- AIM: Action and Investment to defeat Malaria 2016-2030
- and many more
Vision and Goals
- Vision: Eliminate malaria nationally and contribute to improved health, quality of life, and poverty alleviation
- Goals: Eliminate malaria (zero indigenous cases) throughout the country by 2030 and maintain a malaria-free status in areas where malaria transmission has been interrupted and prevent re-introduction.
Objectives
- Eliminate malaria from low and moderate transmission states/UTs by 2022
- Reduce malaria incidence to less than one case per 1000 population per year in all states and UTs and their districts by 2024
- Interrupt indigenous transmission throughout the entire country by 2027
- Prevent re-establishment of local malaria transmission and maintain national malaria-free status by 2030 and beyond
Strategic Approaches
- Phased implementation based on annual parasite incidence (API), considering different levels of malaria endemicity
- Classification of states/UTs into four categories based on API to guide interventions and resources
- Focus on high-transmission areas with specific strategies
- Special strategy for eliminating Plasmodium vivax
Milestones and Targets
- Specific milestones and targets set for 2016, 2020, 2022, 2024, 2027, and 2030
- Includes estimated reduction in malaria cases (in percentages) across different years
- Includes specifics on states and UTs in each phase.
Key Interventions
- Detailed strategies and interventions for each category of states/UTs for malaria elimination
- Includes cross-cutting interventions common across all categories
Capacity Building
- Developing training curricula and schedules for health officials
- Identifying and training national-level trainers
- Facilitating research and use of advanced methods
Measuring Progress and Impact
- Implementation monitoring through various indicators, with specific focus on measuring coverage and quality of interventions, epidemiological indicators ensuring desired outcomes
- National/state-level independent committees for supervising progress towards malaria elimination
- Creation of databases for collecting and analyzing information about malaria elimination
Cost of Implementing the Framework
- Highlights that malaria elimination is a cost-effective public health investment
- Estimates associated costs, potential benefits, and rationale for investment
