WHO launched the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF) in 2000. The elimination strategy has two components: (1) to stop the spread of infection (interrupting transmission); and (2) to alleviate the suffering of affected populations (controlling morbidity). In order to interrupt transmission, districts in which lymphatic filariasis is endemic must be mapped and a strategy of preventive chemotherapy called mass drug administration (MDA) implemented to treat the entire at-risk population. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare chaired National Symposium on India’s Roadmap to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (LF).
