18. DENGUE FEVER/DENGUE HAEMORRHAGIC FEVER:-
•Dengue Fever is an outbreak prone viral disease, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes
•The risk of dengue has increased in recent years due to rapid urbanization, and deficient
water management including improper water storage practices in urban, peri-urban and
rural areas, leading to proliferation of mosquito breeding sites.
The cases peak after monsoon and it is not uniformly distributed throughout the year

19. 19

20. The Government of India in consultation with States has
identified 439 sentinel surveillance hospitals with laboratory
support for augmentation of diagnostic facilities in the endemic
states.
15 Apex Referral Laboratories have been identified and linked
with sentinel surveillance hospitals.
For early diagnosis ELISA based NS1 kits have
been introduced under the programme
which can detect the cases from 1st day of
infection.
IgM capture ELISA tests can detect the cases
after 5th day of infection

27. Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP)
• National Tuberculosis programme(NTP)
1962.
DOTS Strategy
Revised national tuberculosis control
programme(RNTCP) - 1993.
• DOTS is most systematic & effective
approach to revitalize TB Control
programme.
27
World TB Day-
24TH March

28. The RNTCP is being implemented following the WHO-recommended Directly Observed
Treatment Short Course (DOTS) strategy that provides a sure cure for tuberculosis with 6-8
months course and is available free of cost to the patient in the entire country.
India’s DOTS programme is the largest in the world in terms of patients initiated on
treatment, placing on an average of more than 1, 25,000 patients on treatment every
month.
Since its inception, the RNTCP has initiated over 12.8 million TB patients on treatment,
thus saving more than 2.3 million lives.
The programme has started responding to new challenges like TB-HIV and MDR-TB. TB-HIV
collaborative services were initiated in the year 2000; currently, the entire country is
implementing TB-HIV collaborative services.
The program has initiated treatment of MDR-TB since 2007 and is currently being
implemented in 12 states. RNTCP has prioritised MDR-TB treatment services and these will
be available in the entire country by end-2011. 28

29. Achievements of RNTCP:-
• In 1999, the Indian expansion of RNTCP accounted
for 1/3 and in 2000 and 2001 for over 1/2 of the
global increase in DOTS coverage.
• In 2005 , 1.29 million TB patients - initiated on
treatment.
• In 2006, 1.39 million.
• In 2007, 1.48 million - enrolled for treatment.
• In 2008 over 1.51 million patients have been
initiated on treatment.

30. • India has contributed to approximately 24% of the total
global new cases detection during the year 2007 as per

To improve access to tribal and other marginalized groups the programme has developed
a Tribal action plan implemented with the provision of additional TB Units
31

32. Repeat population surveys indicate an annual decline in prevalence of disease
by 12%.
Over 2500 NGOs, 19500 private practitioners, and 150 corporate in the provision of
RNTCP services.
Presently, 267 medical colleges (including private colleges) have been involved in
RNTCP
To supplement and support the IRL(Intermediate Reference Laboratories )network the
programme is also involving Mycobacteriology laboratories of Government Medical
Colleges as well laboratories in the NGO and Private Sector.
Till date, two NGO labs (CMC-
vellore and BPRC-Hyderabad)
have been accredited and
about 12 such labs have
applied for accreditation. 32

35. On the eve of World Tuberculosis Day, Health Minister Shri. J.P. Nadda launched Bedaquiline
— new drug for Drug Resistant TB — as part of the national programme. The drug will be
introduced in 104 districts across five States.
Speaking at a press briefing, Mr. Nadda said the “process of fighting TB is continuous. Hence
there can be no dilution and no diversion. Our attention needs to be steadfast and
aggressive.” The programme would not suffer on account of budgetary allocation.
The new class of drug is a diarylquinoline that specifically targets Mycobacterial ATP
synthase, an enzyme essential for the supply of energy to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and
most other mycobacteria.
Bedaquiline is being introduced at six tertiary care centres across India. These sites have
advanced facilities for laboratory testing and intensive care for patients. Bedaquiline will be
given to multi-drug resistant TB patients with resistance to either all fluoroquinolone and/or
all second line injectables and extensive drug resistant TB.

Achievements under Immunization Programme
The Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) has been operational in India since 1985.
However, the coverage has increased by only 4% in the last 4 years i.e. at the rate of 1%
per year. The Government of India launched “Mission Indradhanush” on 25 December
2014 as a special drive to expand full immunization coverage in India from 65% in 2014
to at least 90% children in the next five years.
Under “Mission Indradhanush”, 75.5 lakh children were vaccinated and a total of 19.7
lakh children were fully vaccinated. In addition, a total of 20.8 lakh pregnant women
were vaccinated for tetanus toxoid.
Since the launch of UIP in 1985, infant mortality rate and under-five mortality rate due
to vaccine preventable diseases has decreased considerably. India’s infant mortality
rate has declined from 80 per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 40 per 1,000 live births in
2013 and under-five mortality rate from 126 per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 49 per
1,000 live births in 2013. This has been possible due to child health interventions
including immunization.
The Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha
here today. 59

78. • Health system strengthening, human resource
development and capacity building and regulation in
public health are important areas within the health
sector.
• Making public health a shared value across the various
sectors is a politically challenging strategy, but such
collective action is crucial.
• “The health of people is the foundation upon which all
their happiness and all their powers as a state depend”.
