Introduction


About the Branch

The National Centre for Disease Control Branch at Jagdalpur was established as Malaria Research Field Station in February 1979, under Field Operational Research Scheme (FORS) of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi. The area was chosen as it forms a contiguous tribal belt of Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Andhra Pradesh and was hard-core for persistent malaria transmission. It was under the administrative control of the Director, National Centre for Disease Control, 22-Shamnath Marg, Delhi-54.

From 1 st March 1988 this field station situated at a tribal area was taken over by Government of India as a branch of NCDC, under Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, upon the recommendation of the High-Power Board on Malaria. Thereafter, the scope of the branch has been widened to include studies on other communicable diseases along with Morbidity survey of tribal population. Epidemiological investigations of outbreaks were carried out both within the state and in other states, in accordance with the directives received from headquarters. The unit was involved in Yaws Eradication Programme, since its inception during 1996 and provided training materials, and training to Medical Officers, & Health Workers of Yaws affected districts of Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh.

The branch is of multipurpose in function and carry out various activities including investigation of out-breaks of communicable diseases, rendering expert advice to the states on matters pertaining to prevention and control of communicable diseases.

  • To assist the state health authorities in field investigations as may be undertaken by them and providing them with technical assistance wherever necessary.
  • To train personnel in Epidemiology and control of communicable diseases.
The office shifted to RLTRI campus in Raipur on 19/03/2024.
