Abstract

Malaria continues to be a critical public health issue in India, despite national efforts to control and eliminate the disease. Chhattisgarh, a state in central India, contributes disproportionately to malaria-related deaths, reflecting regional disparities in healthcare, socioeconomic development, and geographical challenges. By comparing malaria cases and deaths in Chhattisgarh and India from 2020 to 2024 (up to August), this paper identifies significant gaps in malaria control in Chhattisgarh. The study includes a detailed analysis of the causes, effects, and prevention measures, along with data visualization through graphs. Finally, recommendations are provided to reduce the malaria burden and align Chhattisgarh with India’s malaria elimination goals.
