Aizawl: Mizoram has reported the highest malaria incidence rate in India, with six deaths and over 7,000 infections recorded so far this year, even as state authorities intensify efforts to eradicate the disease, Health Minister Lalrinpuii said on Tuesday.

Speaking at the inaugural session of a three-day regional review meeting on malaria elimination for Global Fund (GFATM) project states in Aizawl, the minister said that despite a gradual decline in cases, malaria continues to pose a major health concern in Mizoram.

According to official data, between January and September 2025, 7,321 malaria cases were detected across the state.

Of these, Lawngtlai district — which shares borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh — reported the highest number of infections at 3,151, followed by Lunglei (1,788) and Siaha (1,080).

Together with Mamit district, these four districts account for nearly 80 percent of the state’s total malaria burden.

“Massive efforts are required to eliminate malaria as Mizoram currently holds the unfortunate distinction of having the highest malaria incidence rate in the country,” Lalrinpuii said.

She added that although both infection and mortality figures have shown slight improvement compared to last year, the overall rate remains significantly higher than in other states.

Health department data shows that 16,899 malaria cases and seven deaths were recorded in 2024, while 18,005 cases and 13 deaths were reported in 2023.

To strengthen surveillance and control measures, the government plans to recruit 100 new health workers who will lead malaria elimination initiatives at the community level.

Emphasising the need for a coordinated approach, the minister urged NGOs, community groups, and local leaders to join hands in combating the mosquito-borne disease, underscoring that “collective responsibility and awareness are key to achieving a malaria-free Mizoram.”
