Malaria is an important health and development challenge in Africa, where pregnant women
and young children are most at risk. Each year approximately 800,000 children die from
malaria. Malaria in pregnancy contributes to a vicious cycle of ill-health in Africa, causing
babies to be born with low birthweight (LBW), which increases the risk of newborn and
infant deaths.
Effective interventions exist to break this cycle, like insecticide treated bednets (ITN) and
intermittent preventive treatment of malaria during pregnancy (IPTp). In recent years,
increased attention to and funding for malaria control has resulted in a significant
improvement in the coverage of malaria interventions, particularly for children. Further
reduction of the burden of malaria and malaria-related problems, especially in pregnancy,
requires strong linkages between malaria control programmes and maternal, newborn, and
child health (MNCH) programmes as well as better communication between homes and
health facilities. MNCH services offer the best mechanism through which malaria prevention
and control interventions can have a significant impact on newborn health. The question
remains, however, as to how these programmes can collaborate most effectively to save more
lives, not only from malaria and its effects, but from other causes, too

2. INTRODUCTION OF MALARIA ON 20 AUGUST 1897 IN SECUNDERBAD ROSS MADE HIS LAND MARK DISCOVERY. WHILE DISSECTING THE STOMACH TISSUE OF AN ANOPHELINES MOSQUITO FED FOUR DAY PREVIOUSLY ON A MALERIOUS PATIENT . HE FOUND THE MALERIA PARASITE AND WENT ON TO PROVE THE ROLE OF TRANSMISSION OF MALERIAL PARASITE IN HUMAN

3. DEFINITION A HUMAN DISEASES THAT IS CAUSED BY SPOROZOAN PARASITE IN THE RBC AND IS TRANSMITTED BY THE BITE OF ANOPHELIES MOSQUITO

4. MODE OF TRANSMISSION MALARIA IS TRANSMITTED :- FROM MOTHER TO CHILD THROUGH INFECTED BLOOD TRANSFUSSION BY SHARING NEEDLES USED TO INJECT DRUGS

5. NATIONAL ANTIMALARIAL PROGRAMME THE NATIONAL MALARIA PROGRAMME WAS IMPLEMENTED IN THE STATE FROM 1953 TO 1958 THE SUCCESS ACHIEVED THE PROGRAMME WAS CONVERTED TO ERADICATION PROGRAMME FROM 1958 DUE TO VARIOUS REASON THERE WAS INCREASE IN MALARIA CASES DURING 1964 TO 1975
