Malaria remains a major public health problem in India. The National Antimalaria Programme aims to eliminate malaria from the country by 2030 through universal coverage of diagnosis and treatment. It began as the National Malaria Control Programme in 1953 and focused on eradication until 1977 when it shifted to elimination. The program classifies areas based on annual parasite incidence and conducts regular indoor residual spraying and larviciding. It also establishes drug distribution centers and fever treatment depots to provide prompt diagnosis and treatment. Nurses play an important role in supporting early case detection, vector control activities, and ensuring complete treatment to prevent further transmission of malaria.

4. SIGN AND SYMPTOMS

5. TREATMENT
Malaria is treated with prescription drugs to kill the parasite. The types of drugs and
the length of treatment will vary, depending on:
1. Which type of malaria parasite you have
2. The severity of your symptoms
3. Your age
4. Whether you're pregnant
• Medications
The most common antimalarial drugs include:
• Chloroquine phosphate.
• Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs).
1. Other common antimalarial drugs include:
2. Atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone)
3. Quinine sulfate (Qualaquin) with doxycycline (Oracea, Vibramycin,
others)
4. Primaquine phosphate

6. HISTORY PERSPECTIVE
• It was first recognized by Romans and
Greek who associated it with wet area.
• They assumed that intermittent fever were due
to the ‘bad odur’ coming from the wet areas
and thus gave the name malaria ( Mal=
bad+air )

PROGRAMME

8. INTRODUCTION
Malaria has been a major public health
problem in India fwrom ancient time. It
was estimated that about 75 million
people suffered from the disease in a
normal year and twice the number during
epidemic with an annual mortality rate
estimate to be about 0.8 million as a
direct result of malaria

9. MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM
1. About 95% population in the
country lives in malaria endemic
area.
2. 80% of malaria reported in the
country is confined to area
consisting 20% of population living
in tribal ,hilly difficult and
inaccessible area.

Focus on strategic policies to proved universal
intervention package paving the way for malaria
elimination by 2030.

18. Goals
• Elimitaion malariar from all low moderate
and moderate by 2030 .
• Reduce incidence of malaria less than 1
case per 1000 population .
• Prevent resetablishment of malaria
2030.
Objective
• Achieve universal coverage of case detection and
treatment service in an endemic district to ensure
100% parasitological diagnosis of all suspected
malaria cases and complete treatment of all
confirmed cases.

19. ORGANIZATION OF NAMP
• 19 regional office for
healthand family welfare
located in 19 states.
• Play major role under the
control of NVBDCP .
• Each states established a
state Vector Borne Diseases
Control Society.

20. TREATMENT
• Drug distribution center and fever treatment
Depot .
1.Drug distribution center are only provide
Antimalarial tablets as per NEMP schedule.
2.Fever treatment Depots collect the blood
slides in addition to the distribution of
Antimalarial Tablet.
3.About 4.49 lakh such centers are functioning
all over the country known as voluntary.

21. CLASSIFICATION OF
ENDEMIC AREA
•AREA WITH API
MORE THAN 2.
•AREAS WITH API
