National Malaria Control Program (NMCP)

The National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) is a government initiative aimed at reducing and eventually eliminating malaria, a disease caused by mosquitoes. It focuses on strategies like distributing insecticide-treated bed nets, providing effective treatment, promoting awareness, and controlling mosquito breeding. The goal is to protect communities, especially vulnerable populations, from malaria's health impacts and save lives. By coordinating resources and partnerships, the NMCP works to strengthen health systems and achieve long-term reduction in malaria cases nationwide.
