Abstract

India's National Malaria Elimination Program, which achieved notable success in reducing cases, is now facing challenges because of the rise in malaria cases in 2023 and 2024. This increase is linked to multiple factors, including disruptions in healthcare priorities during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, drug and insecticide resistance, and the under-detection of asymptomatic carriers and pfhrp2-deleted parasites. The ultimate goal is to achieve sustainable reductions in malaria incidence and transmission, paving the way for a malaria-free India by 2030.
