ABSTRACT
An intervention study to improve the MDT coverage of leprosy patients by involving general practitioners (GPs) was carried out in Raipur city. Most of the GPs (84%) were willing to undertake drug delivery and periodic examination of the leprosy patients. After involving GPs, the proportion of the patients registered for treatment increased from 33% to 89.2%. The cohort regularity was 57% only which was lower than that found in the Upgraded Urban Leprosy Centre. Drug compliance as found out by the pill count was 91%. Most of the patients (87%) were happy with the services provided by the GPs.
