2) According to WHO report, India accounted for 6% of global malaria cases and 7% of deaths caused by it in 2016. Why has India failed to eliminate Malaria? Examine. (150 Words)

1. Lack of data acquistion, strict data monitoring as seen in countries like Sri Lanka, and european countries. This makes difficult to control malaria
2. Lack of awareness among the masses, nation wide campaign like Darwaja Band for open defecation launched by ministry of driniking water and sanitation, can there be simiar campaign for malaria ?
3. Nurses, Anganwadi workers, Auxillary nurse midwifes, the bedrock of health scaffolding in the country: not empowered to train the masses about malaria
4. Fund access: are there suitable funds for controlling malaria (TB has more focus : as far as fund allocation is concerned)
5. How many countries have approached India in the recent past to handle malaria issues? Very few
6. lack of vaccine : still at research stage: Why can't WHO and best medical institutes like AIIMS and Ecole Polytechnnique in France, etc can come together and collaborate with each other?
All these are reasons. To control; innovative measures need to be deployed like  sale of medicated nets in rural areas, no potholes to allow stagnating water (using submersible pumps), issue malaria bonds as we have green bonds, to raise money from abroad (Guaranteers of such money shall be state government)
