Kala Azar Elimination
Preventing and addressing the spread of non-communicable diseases and non-tropical diseases that threaten the survival of marginalised communities.
CARE India is supporting the implementation of the National Kala Azar Elimination Programme of the Government of India to accelerate the progress of its elimination. Our work banks heavily on entomological surveillance, operational research and digitisation through information mapping and management. Our research and programmatic support further aim to prevent and address Non-Communicable Diseases and Non-Tropical Diseases.
