Malaria is a major public health problem in India, with ∼0.18 million cases reported in 2022 and 1,309 million population living at risk of infection. The Indian government has introduced various intervention strategies to reduce and manage the number of outbreaks with proper mechanisms. In this policy paper, we have extensively reviewed these intervention strategies using a quantitative approach. The success of the Urban Malaria Scheme, focusing on the 131 urban regions distributed across the country, along with the Intensified Malaria Control Project implemented in the seven hotspots, has been highlighted. The recently formulated National Framework for Malaria Elimination in India has resulted in declining malaria cases in hotspots like Odisha. However, states like West Bengal, Maharashtra, and Tripura have emerged as new hotspots in recent years. A systematic platform for data dissemination and active public-private partnership will expedite malaria elimination in India.
疟疾是印度的一个主要公共卫生问题，2022年报告了约18万例病例，有13.09亿人口面临感染风险。印度政府已采取各种干预策略，通过适当机制减少和管理疫情数量。在本政策文件中，我们采用定量方法对这些干预策略进行了广泛审查。重点关注分布在全国的131个城市地区的城市疟疾计划以及在七个热点地区实施的强化疟疾控制项目的成功经验得到了突出强调。印度最近制定的国家疟疾消除框架已使奥里萨邦等热点地区的疟疾病例有所下降。然而，西孟加拉邦、马哈拉施特拉邦和特里普拉邦等邦近年来已成为新的热点地区。一个系统的数据传播平台和积极的公私伙伴关系将加快印度的疟疾消除进程。
