Malaria elimination is a health priority of India for the national development and to meet UN sustainable development goals. In this article, an attempt has been made to highlight some of the key issues that need attention and consideration. These include addressing the gaps in malaria burden and adopting District Health Information System (DHIS) for real time data gathering, transfer and analysis for rapid response. The article highlights threat to malaria elimination from human migration, asymptomatic malaria, P. malariae as a neglected species, need for updating vector information and devising strategies to control relay vector species especially in the high burden states of India. Additionally, scale-up of vector control interventions, integrated vector management and enhancement of vector control capacity and capability have been emphasized. It is suggested that process, performance and progress indicators for malaria elimination may be clearly spelt out and disseminated. What are the data needs for malaria elimination certification, must be well-understood? Lessons learnt by the countries that have eliminated malaria recently shall be of great value to malaria elimination efforts in India.

印度与消除疟疾有关的一些重大问题。

消除疟疾是印度对国家发展和实现联合国可持续发展目标的健康优先事项。在本文中，我们试图突出一些需要注意和考虑的关键问题。这些措施包括解决疟疾负担方面的差距，并采用地区卫生信息系统（DHIS）进行实时数据收集，传输和分析，以快速做出响应。这篇文章强调了人类迁徙，无症状疟疾，疟原虫作为一种被忽视的物种对消除疟疾的威胁，需要更新媒介信息并制定战略来控制媒介媒介的传播，特别是在印度高负荷地区。此外，已经强调了媒介控制干预措施的扩大规模，集成媒介管理和增强媒介控制能力的能力。建议可以明确阐明和传播消除疟疾的过程，绩效和进展指标。必须充分理解消除疟疾认证的数据需求是什么？最近消除疟疾的国家所汲取的经验教训对印度消除疟疾的努力将具有重要价值。
