RESUMEN
An interview based cross sectional study was conducted in two of the designated Baby Friendly Hospitals of Indore in the year 2008. None of the hospitals were having a written breastfeeding policy, which is routinely communicated to all the health workers and no regular training regarding the Programme was being imparted. There is a need to develop a BFHI Monitoring System to ensure that the status is kept in check. Training regarding essential Criteria of BFHI should be there for all the staff.

A study of knowledge, attitude and practice of leprosy among doctors of Bhopal has found that junior doctors had more exposure to leprology compared to all other groups. Medical college doctors had better knowledge of leprology compared to non-medical college doctors. Knowledge and attitude about leprosy among doctors were influenced by qualification, age, cultural and environmental factors. A strong association was observed between knowledge and attitude about leprosy of doctors and their practice of treating leprosy cases.
