[Integration of leprosy polychemotherapy into general health services]

The actual control of leprosy must conciliate difficulties of multidrug therapy (MDT) application and integration of general health services. The getting up of multidrug therapy needs a logistic with clinical and bacteriological track off, patient categorisation, supervision of treatment, follow up of the drug compliance and control of the disease evolution. The management of such system must be perfectly mastered in order to avoid the uncontroled circulation of rifampicine. Solutions are proposed in order to increase specialized teams efficiency and integration of non specialized officers incumbent tasks.
