| Popis: | Objective To assess the implementation of ongoing National Anti-Malaria Programme, malaria surveillance and the awareness of adult responsible respondents regarding mosquito borne diseases in Raichur District. Methods Four clusters (three Primary Health Centers from rural area and one Health Center from urban area) were randomly selected based on annual parasite incidence of 2009 for Raichur District. All four clusters were visited and information was collected on anti-malaria activities. A number of 200 households (50 in each cluster) were visited by using random selection procedure and information was collected on knowledge and practices regarding malaria. Results Cluster B (rural) and C (rural) had annual blood examination rate of 20.50 and 22.00, annual parasite incidence of 5.00 and 9.80, respectively. Out of 88 fever cases were detected during the survey, only 3 (3.4%) fever cases were visited by health worker and 2 (2.3%) cases were taken blood smear for malaria diagnosis as part of passive case detections. Household survey showed that only 28.8% were aware of malaria was mosquito borne disease and 120 (60.0%) were not aware any of the diseases caused by mosquito bite. Conclusions The present evaluation in the Raichur District revealed lacunaes in the ongoing programme. |
