Drug distribution centres and Fever Treatment Depots are related to :

  • A.Filariasis
  • B.Kala-azar
  • C.Japanese-Encephalitis (JE)
  • D.Malaria

Answer: D

Drug distribution centres and fever treatment depots belong to malaria control.

Under India's malaria programme, Drug Distribution Centres (DDCs) and Fever Treatment Depots (FTDs) were set up in villages, usually run by volunteers such as school teachers or village workers, so that a person with fever could get a blood smear taken and receive anti-malarial drugs close to home.

Filariasis is controlled by mass drug administration, kala-azar by case detection and indoor residual spraying, and Japanese encephalitis by vaccination and vector control. None of these is organised around fever treatment depots.
