Mission & Vision

VISION

Visitors to a market in Binta village, Bastar district, have the opportunity to undergo tests for a number of health issues, including malaria and dengue. In recent years, India has made impressive gains in reducing its malaria burden, with cases dropping by more than 40% between 2015 and 2021. Most of the remaining cases are concentrated among tribal populations living in rural areas. This photo set describes efforts by local health workers to reach people at risk of malaria in remote areas of Chhattisgarh, a state that accounts for nearly one fifth of the country’s malaria burden.
