NCVBDC LMS

The National Center for Vector Borne Diseases Control (NCVBDC) is the programme for prevention & control of these vector borne diseases as an integral part of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) of India.

The programme aims to make the investments sustainable by developing robust systems and supporting the local capacity. It is planned to ensure that the right diagnostics and treatment are available to all people – especially the poor and disadvantaged living in tribal and rural areas. The GoI has provided cash assistance for engaging Multi-Purpose health Workers (MPW) on contractual basis in high endemic districts for strengthening surveillance, treatment, prevention and control of malaria and other vector borne diseases. Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA), Anganwadi Workers and MPWs are trained on the use of RDTs and ACT for malaria diagnosis and treatment at community level. Incentives are given to ASHAs for providing these services.
