Impact India Foundation, has organised an intense Malaria Prevention Programme in Mumbai, to help create greater awareness on the hazards of malaria and empower the community to take appropriate preventive measures. 

As the incidence of Malaria is highest in the Monsoon, the workshops and community intervention programmes are held before its onset. The Malaria Clinic set up by Impact India Foundation and sponsored by Tata Social Welfare Trust, in 'A 'Ward of Mumbai, has completed two years on April 5, 2001.

It has been rendering services, free of cost, to slum dwellers by testing blood smears and dispensing medicine in designated pockets of 'A' Ward, which lie within Fort and Cuffe Parade, Mumbai. It is important that, in every citizen, a sense of civic responsibility is awakened, in which each takes responsibility for the cleanliness of the area and well being of the community.

• Sessions on good practices concerning Nutrition, to be taught to strengthen immunization. 

• Sustained discussions on hygiene and sanitation, following screening of short films. 

• Regular meetings of the community with the BMC to understand and ensure its role in garbage disposal, spraying of DDT, cleaning of gutters and sewers especially during Monsoons, etc. 

• Street Committees to streamline garbage disposal.

It is felt this would help motivate and give more information on the preventive aspects for the eradication of the disease.
