As per World Malaria Report (WMR) 2024, the country is no longer a High Burden to High Impact (HBHI) country, as it is moving towards malaria elimination. Implementation of Integrated Health Management Platform (IHIP) for real time monitoring of cases & death across the country with on boarding of all 36 States/UTs, out of which 26 States/UTs are reporting paperless through portal. Strategies for Malaria elimination as per NSP 2023-27 Transforming malaria surveillance as a core intervention for malaria elimination Ensuring universal access to diagnosis and treatment by enhancing & optimizing case management - “testing, treating and tracking” Ensuring universal access to malaria prevention by enhancing and optimizing vector control Accelerating efforts towards elimination and attainment of malaria free status Promoting research and innovation for accelerating elimination and prevention of re-establishment of transmission
