ABSTRACT
The Government of Orissa implemented the Revised Operational Strategy in September 1999 to integrate the NLEP functions into primary health care activities. An interventional strategy, in the form of consensus on job responsibilities and capacity-building through training of PHC staff, was developed and adopted in a rural block under the Department of Community Medicine to strengthen the integration process. The impact was studied six months after the intervention by comparing it with the leprosy situation in the pre-intervention period. Data were collected by verification of registers at the block PHC and sub-centre levels. Analysis was done using different leprosy indices, such as new case-detection rate (NCDR), child rate, deformity rate, profile of leprosy cases and patient compliance, etc. This integrated approach was found to be more community-oriented and effective in early case-detection in children and women. It also helped in providing continuous MDT services because of the involvement of primary health care functionaries in the post-intervention period.
