WHO Country Office for India, Annual Report 2024

The year 2024 saw remarkable achievements in public health in India. India has eliminated trachoma as a public health problem and is close to eliminating kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis). WHO’s field teams continued to play a pivotal role in supporting Government of India’s efforts to eliminate tuberculosis (TB), measles and rubella, malaria, leprosy, and lymphatic filariasis. From strengthening immunization services for disease prevention, and laboratory networks for screening, early detection and treatment, WHO teams on-the-ground worked shoulder-to-shoulder with government officials at the national, state and district levels, partners and frontline health workforce to realize India’s mission of ensuring health for all.
