The World Health Organisation (WHO) Friday called for strengthening the health system across India to address the threat of vector-borne diseases like dengue and malaria. ‘The World Health Day campaign ‘small bite: big threat’ brings renewed focus on sustainable control, elimination and eradication of vector-borne diseases,’ WHO representative to India Nata Menabde said at a national consultation organised by the health ministry and the WHO.

With vector-borne diseases endemic in more than 100 low and middle-income countries across the world and accounting for 17 percent of the global burden of communicable diseases, more than half the world’s population is at risk. A panel discussion deliberated on India’s strategy for eliminating malaria. The issue of dengue as a major public health problem was also discussed, including measures like behavioural change communication and effective inter-sectoral coordination that India should undertake to curb dengue.
