Agartala, July 11: Healthcare workers under the Mungiakami Primary Health Centre are playing a vital and consistent role in malaria prevention and control. Among their various initiatives, awareness programs on malaria prevention among local residents are particularly significant.
As part of this effort, health workers have been conducting malaria screening activities and health camps in remote areas under the jurisdiction of the Mungiakami PHC.
These healthcare teams are identifying malaria-prone regions and organizing door-to-door awareness campaigns to educate people about the disease. On July 10, 2025, malaria screenings were conducted in six different locations—Nonachhara, 37 Mile, 43 Mile, Purba Lakshmipur, Hajara Para, and Holudia. On that day, health workers collected blood samples from a total of 75 individuals using RDT kits (Rapid Diagnostic Test kits) for malaria detection.
During the special campaign, the health workers visited each household to explain how malaria spreads, what its symptoms are, and how to prevent it. They also monitored the health conditions of previously identified malaria patients in the area and tested suspected individuals.
This kind of door-to-door outreach and healthcare service delivery is helping to raise awareness among the local population. Raising awareness in malaria-prone areas is an important step toward building a malaria-free Tripura.
In pursuit of this goal, doctors and healthcare workers are providing uninterrupted services across remote regions.
The campaign involves dedicated participation from multipurpose supervisors (MPS), multipurpose workers (MPW), community health officers (CHO), and ASHA workers operating under various primary health centres and Ayushman Arogya Mandirs in the state. This information was shared by the State Health Department.
