A study of Slide Positivity Rate (SPR) in three Districts of the Bastar Region of Chhattisgarh State

ABSTRACT

In Dantewada and Kanker Districts, the SPR began to rise between the 2019-20 and 2020-21 periods, despite the third phase “Malaria-Mukt Bastar Abhiyan” conducted during December 2020 and January 2021. However, in Narayanpur District, it was seen that the SPR came down following the third phase campaign. It remains to be seen as to what the effect of the Phase 4 campaign on the SPRs of Dantewada, Kanker, and Narayanpur would be. This would be possible once the SPR values for 2021-22 are available for these districts.
