  • Pitched to be a public hazard, India's Ministry of health and family welfare launched the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme to help counter Malaria.

    The board helped frame guidelines and policies and launched country-wide malaria clinics, and health institutions.

    The board also introduced a village medical volunteer program called ASHA, where the volunteer provides medical treatment for malaria at the village level.

    Investments to counter the disease
  • The number of anti-malaria projects in India has increased from 17 in 2008, to 46 in 2016.

    The increase in the number of projects is attributed to the higher amount of investments across the globe to counter the endemic.

    From $130 million in investments sixteen years ago, expenditures have risen to $2.7 billion in 2015.

    Research and development clocked the major investments.
