Kill Corona initiative
From July 1 to 15, 2020, MEDP was asked by the state to support the 'Kill Corona' initiative in Mandla district. During this campaign, special active fever screenings were conducted throughout Mandla district by teams of ASHAs, ANMs, MPWs, Village Malaria Workers (VMW-MEDP), and Malaria Field Coordinators (MFC-MEDP). The planning was done strategically to prevent disruption of the existing malaria surveillance in the high-risk monsoon season. Fever patients were also tested on-the-spot using RDTs by MEDP Mandla. We diagnosed and treated six malaria positive cases during this campaign.
