ABSTRACT
A report of two general surveys done in 1984 and 1987 in Gudiyatham town, is presented. The first survey covered 89.2% and the second survey 82% of the population. The new case detection rate was 3.4 per 1000. The success of the survey was due to the co-operation obtained from the public, most probably because of the intense and sustained health education, combined with leprosy services integrated with a dermatology clinic.
