URBAN LEPROSY CONTROL PROGRAMME Hiding attitude in urban population is a major problem in controlling the leprosy programme. Special efforts are to be taken for the same. The PR of the urban areas is 1.04/10000 as on March 2004. Following are few illustrative steps for elimination of leprosy in Urban Areas • Identification of Govt./Semi Govt. & Private Health Facilities • providing training to MOs & other related paramedical staff. • Distribution of MDT drugs through all such HFs. • Supply of SIS formats. • Involvement of NGOs.
IEC • Intensive IEC throughout the year & monitoring as per the checklist circulated. • BLAC ( Block Leprosy Awareness Campaign ) – is being under taken in two blocks (Luxer & Narsan ) of district Haridwar which have PR more than 5. Total 53 leprosy Counseling Centers established, 26 new leprosy cases detected during BLAC. • Other Activities • More emphasis on villages having leprosy cases, by concerning field staff: • Follow up of leprosy cases for completion of treatments. • Follow up of RFT cases. • Constant watch on the new cases detected & their family members. • Validation of new cases by DTST/Distt. Level officers. • Proper record maintenance & cleaning of registers.
Monitoring of the programme & Management of MDT, Supply of SIS in urban area will be done by the nucleus team of the district. Conclusion We hope by effective implementation of all above activities the state will achieve the level of elimination i.e. PR < 1 by march 2005 positively. Thanks. Dr. S.R.S. Rana SLO Uttranchal
