Suggesting that the private sector including the private practitioners need to align their malaria case management, reporting and related activities with the national program, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said the need is to emphasize progressive strengthening of health care delivery system and improving multi-sectoral coordination and collaboration.
“Not only diagnosis and treatment, “swachhta’’ in our personal and community surroundings and social awareness regarding malaria control and prevention are equally important in our collective fight against the disease and for meeting our goal of elimination by 2030, ” Dr. Mandaviya said on Monday in his address to commemorate World Malaria Day 2022.
This year’s theme is “Harness innovation to reduce the global malaria disease burden and save lives.”
