National Project Implementation Plan - NVBDCP

provision of general health services as a part of NRHM. The staff at all levels
will be technically supported and supervised by the staff hired for doing
VBDC work.
The State Health Departments will focus on activities where they have core
competency and partner with other departments or non-government
agencies/private sector for the remaining.
The NVBDCP will ensure uniformity in application of best practices by nongovernmental/private
partners.
3.2 Project Objectives
The Objective of the project is to:
Reduce Malaria morbidity by 25% by 2013 ( Base Year 2007)
Reduce Malaria mortality by 50% by 2013 ( Base Year 2007); &
Achieve Kala-azar elimination by 50% of sampled blocks during the
project period.
3.2.1. Malaria
In Phase one, 50 districts where the new malaria treatment policy is applied
By the end of second year of implementation, more than 50 % of
clinically suspected malaria cases tested for P. falciparum either by rapid
diagnostic kits or microscopy within 24 hours from the time the fever
patient reports to the government health services. This percentage may
go up to 80% after 3 years of implementation.
All confirmed P. falciparum cases, except pregnant women in their first
trimester will receive correct Artimisnin Combination Therapy (ACT)
within 24 hrs of diagnosis by government health services.
The minimum Annual Blood Examination Rate (ABER) from passive case
detection including cases detected by using RDK and those detected by
private sector will be 10%.
In high endemic Sub Centers (API >5 in at least two of last 5 years) where
IVM is applied
At least 80% of individuals slept under Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs)
during previous night in the bed net targeted areas. As far as possible
LLINs will be used.
OR
At least 80% of targeted areas covered with quality spray uniformly and
completely as per program norms.
3.2.2. Kala-azar
At least 50 % of sampled blocks which at base line have not achieved
the elimination goal of less then one Kala-azar case per 10,000 persons
will achieve the elimination goal.
At least 80 % of diagnosed kala-azar cases complete standard
treatment.
