Inadequate attention to mosquitogenic conditions by local selfgovernment<br />
as well as private corporate sector and weak coordination<br />
between concerned authorities resulting in man made malaria<br />
1. 4. 2. Key Program constraints – Kala-azar<br />
a) Technical<br />
Active Case Search which is done only through Kala-azar fortnight is<br />
labor intensive and generally the yield of cases is very low.<br />
Continued dependence on Napier’s Aldehyde test for diagnosis of Kalaazar<br />
except in pilot districts.<br />
There is an emerging trend of poor response to first line drug Sodium<br />
Stibo Gluconate (SSG) in North Bihar which is also toxic when the<br />
prescribed regime for 28 days treatment is strictly followed.<br />
Despite clear guidelines from GOI, indiscriminate use of medicines and<br />
incomplete treatment are common among both public as well as private<br />
sector health service providers.<br />
Treatment protocols are not followed properly. Treatment cards<br />
recommended for use under the Programme often are not filled<br />
adequately.<br />
Detection of Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasiss (PKDL) and its<br />
treatment are not satisfactory. The treatment is prolonged and patients<br />
have no motivation to follow the treatment since they do not suffer any<br />
ill health except for the skin problems.<br />
Coverage and quality of IRS is unsatisfactory.<br />
Emergence of HIV-Kala-azar and TB-Kala-azar co-infections.<br />
b) Operational<br />
Political commitment exists but insufficient monitoring of control<br />
interventions and resource utilization; variable absorption capacity of<br />
states in relation to utilization of funds/commodities.<br />
A large number of patients receive treatment through private sector<br />
which does not report these cases and treatment outcomes to the<br />
government. Though Kala-azar is included under the notifiable Diseases<br />
in Bihar, enforcement has been ineffective.<br />
A large number of patients do not complete the recommended 28 days<br />
treatment because of poverty, side effects of medicine and weak<br />
supervision by the health care providers.<br />
Limited social mobilization due to inadequate BCC efforts with low<br />
resource allocation.<br />
c) Management<br />
Non-receipt of funds by the Districts/PHCs due to administrative delays<br />
or non-release of funds by states.<br />
Non-submission of SOEs & UCs by the States thus hampering release of<br />
funds by the GOI.<br />
