|December 26, 2024
INDIA is taking steady strides towards a malaria-free nation with as many as 122 districts reporting zero malaria cases in 2023, according to Union Health Ministry officials on Wednesday.
The country has also exited from the World Health Organisation (WHO's) high burden to high impact group in 2024, signifying a turning point in its fight against the disease.
With over 97% reduction, the number of annual malaria cases declined from 7.5 crore at the time of independence in 1947 to 20 lakhs by 2023. The number of malaria-related deaths also fell from eight lakhs to 83, the officials said. In 2023, zero malaria cases were reported in 122 districts across various states, said the ministry officials.
