About Malaria Control Programme in Odisha

National Vector Borne Diseases Control Programme (NVBDCP) addresses six vector borne diseases: Malaria, Filaria, Dengue, Chikungunya, Japane
NVBDCP is an umbrella programme for prevention and control of all the above said vector borne diseases (VBDs) and an integral part of India’s Natio

The NVBDCP envisages different strategic interventions in Odisha to address malaria, filariasis, chikungunya and dengue together with Millennium de
mortality and morbidity due to vector borne diseases which pose public health concern in the community.

Malaria control Programme

Objectives:

The overall objectives are:

1. Prevention of morbidity and mortality due to Malaria

2. Maintenance of socioeconomic development

Strategies of Malaria Prevention and Control Programme in Odisha

1.Surveillance and case management

a. Case detection (passive and active)

b. Early diagnosis and complete treatment

c. Sentinel surveillance

2.Integrated Vector Management (IVM)

a. Indoor Residual Spray (IRS)

b. Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) / Insecticide Treated bed Nets (ITNs)

c. Anti larval measures and breeding source reduction

3.Epidemic preparedness and response

4. Supportive interventions

a. Capacity building

b. Behavior Change Communication (BCC)

c. Inter-sectoral collaboration

d Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E)

e Operational and applied field research

Odisha State Malaria Information System (OSMIS)

Malaria continues to pose major public health problem in the state of Odisha. Odisha has only 4% land area and 3% population of India respectively. In
cases and 17% of deaths due to malaria to the country’s burden. There is geographical variation in the distribution of malaria cases within the districts,
southern districts having only 27 % of state’s population with more than 50% tribal population, contribute around 64% of deaths due to malaria in the s

Out of total of 6688 sub-centers in the state, 2880 (43%) with a population of 14.3 million (36%) have an Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of more than
reported from the state are due to falciparum malaria (Pf). Due to operational difficulties, the risk of malaria continues to be high in remote, rural, tribal,
fringed areas. However, other areas of the state are not free from the malariogenic risk factors.
In order to expand the malaria surveillance and collect update information from the sub centers those serve as a single window to provide primary hea
Information system has been developed known as Odisha State Malaria Information System (OSMIS).

Under OSMIS, citizens can register and view all the annual parameters of Malaria of our state based on which policy decisions are being taken by diffe
and Block level. This is very useful web based MIS system for public health managers, health service providers and beneficiaries to get single point ac

OSMIS provides information regarding the different parameters of Malaria, different strategies of programme interventions, other prevention measures
and other supportive programmes conducted by the NRHM from time to time within the State of Odisha. Basically, one can assess District wise, Block
of the five major Malaria Surveillance Indicators i.e. API (Annual Parasite Incidence), Pf% (Plasmodium falciparum), ABER (Annual Blood Examination
total number of cases and deaths due to malaria, through this citizen friendly web based MIS system.

The Malaria Surveillance Indicators are as follows:

Annual Parasite Incidence (API):

API refers to number of malaria positive cases (microscopically positive + RDT positive cases) detected during a year per total population. It is calculat

API =Total No. of Blood Smears ‘+ ve’ for Malaria Parasite in a year x 1000
Total No. of Population

ABER (Annual Blood Examination Rate):

ABER refers to total number of blood smears examined + RDT positive for malaria parasite in a year per unit population.

ABER = Total No. of Blood Smears examined for Malaria Parasite in a year x 100
Total No. of Population

Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) %:

It indicates the proportion of cases due to Pf out of total malaria positive cases. It is calculated as:

Pf% = Total No. of Blood Smears found ‘+ ve’ for PF % x 100

Total No. of Blood Smears ‘+ ve’ for Malaria Parasite

Death:

Death is expressed as total number of death due to malaria in a year.

Test Positivity Rate (TPR):

TPR = Total No. of blood smears positive for malaria parasite + RDTs positive for malaria Parasite x 100
Total No. of blood smears examined + positive RDTs
