Leprosy Review
|June 1, 1989
Abstract:
To overcome operational problems and improve patient compliance in leprosy programmes, DANIDA introduced blister calendar packs (BCP) to deliver MDT in four districts in India. A questionnaire study of 1470 patients from these districts showed that more than 90% accepted BCP and found them to be very convenient for domiciliary treatment. A similar study of 127 treatment providers indicated that delivery of MDT through BCP was found convenient to overcome logistic problems.
