To conquer malaria and dengue in Kolkata, India, Atin Ghosh — Member of the Mayor-inCouncil (Health and Engineering) of Kolkata Municipal Corporation — undertook several unprecedented initiatives during 2010-2013. He set up a mosquito research laboratory, allowed entomologists to work independently, formed 21 vector surveillance teams (read rapid action teams), opened five dengue detection centres, established intersectoral coordination, brought in notable changes in the tack of campaigning against mosquito-borne ailments and strengthened disease surveillance system. His efforts have yielded outstanding results. The number of malaria cases here came down to 15,656 with no death in 2013 from 1,03,236 cases with one death in 2010. Reduction in the number of dengue cases has been from 1852 cases with 2 deaths in 2012 to 238 cases with no death in 2013. To destroy Culex larvae, Mr Ghosh’s department has been doing larvicidal spray along different sewerage canals of the city by using small rowing-boats as transport since 2011 on his instructions. Political leaders and the controlling health officials of different municipal corporations and states of India — who are yet to contemplate waging a real war against mosquito-borne diseases — may find this paper an eye-opener for them.
