THE MINISTER OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (DR. ANBUMANI RAMADOSS)
(a)to(d): A statement is laid on the Table of the House.
STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 446 FOR 27TH APRIL, 2005
The number of Dengue and Malaria Cases, State-wise, as reported by the
State Health authorities is given in the Annexure I & II.
The incidence of Malaria has been showing declining trend over the last
two years. The total number of positive cases reported during the year 2002
were 1.84 million which declined to 1.74 million cases in the year 2004.
The incidence of Dengue has been variable during the last 2 years.
Although the number of cases reported during the year 2003 were more than
those during the year 2002, there has been a decline in the number of Dengue
Cases in 2004 as compared to those in 2003.
The variation in the occurrence of vector borne diseases like Malaria and
Dengue is dependent on environmental conditions viz. temperature, rainfall,
topography of the area and developmental activities resulting in mosquitogenic
conditions.
The strategies for control of malaria includes surveillance, early
diagnosis and prompt treatment of cases, sustainable vector control including
indoor residual spray with insecticide treated bednets, use of larvivorous fish
etc. besides training, Information, Education, Communication (IEC) to enlist
community involvement. For malaria control, Government of India provides
medicines, insecticides and larvicides as per the approved policy. The programme
is implemented and monitored by the State Health Authorities and operational
costs are borne by the State Governments. North-Eastern States are being
provided 100% support for the programme implementation including operational
cost since December, 1994. State of Sikkim has been included as a part of the
North-Eastern Region for such support since 2003. 1045 PHCs predominantly
inhabited by tribals in 100 districts in eight States namely Andhra Pradesh,
Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa and
Rajasthan are being provided additional support since December, 1997, including
operational expenses under Enhanced Malaria Control Project (EMCP) with World
Bank assistance.
Further, Seven North-Eastern States, Jharkhand, Orissa & West Bengal have
been included under Intensified Malaria Control Project(IMCP) funded by the
Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) to accelerate anti
malaria activities e.g. early diagnosis & prompt treatment, promotion of
insecticide treated bednets and behavior change communication through community
participation.
The measures taken to control Dengue include: -
- Disease and Vector surveillance - Case Management. - Early reporting of cases. - Vector control mainly through source reduction with community participation. - IEC Campaign for community awareness and their active involvement in source reduction and personal protection measures.
