    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Infectious Disease Control
    • Tropical Medicine

    Background:

    • Leprosy control programs require integrated approaches.
    • Community-based strategies are essential for disease management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development of Guyana's leprosy control program.
    • To assess the program's success and future prospects for leprosy eradication.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a "find and treat" strategy.
    • Utilization of existing outpatient facilities and staff.
    • Integrated domiciliary approach for diagnosis, treatment, and contact examination.

    Main Results:

    • The integrated leprosy program in Guyana has demonstrated success.
    • The "find and treat" strategy proved effective.

    Conclusions:

    • Guyana's integrated leprosy program shows promise for disease control.
    • Eventual eradication of leprosy in Guyana is a potential outcome.
