Results: It is seen that the Annual Parasite Incidence (API) of Malaria in Goa had come down to the very low level of 0.24 in 2018 and that there were only 272 cases of Malaria in Goa during 2019. Conclusions: Goais very close to achieving near elimination goals but will have to take active measures to reach it.
