National Leprosy Eradication Programme

  • The National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP) is a Centrally Sponsored Health Scheme and it has been implemented with the major objective of reducing the disease burden, prevention of disability and to improve awareness among the mass about Leprosy and its curability. Multi Drug Therapy (MDT) is an important instrument to reduce the burden of active cases of Leprosy. Vertical services has been integrated into the General Health Care Services following which Leprosy services are being provided through all the Govt. Hospitals, Primary Health Centers and other Health Care institutions with the help of MDT services free of cost. Diagnosis is being done free of cost for treatment with MDT.

    Though Assam has achieved the 'Elimination' status, a large number of new Leprosy cases are being detected yearly.

    Aims of NLEP:

    • Decentralization of NLEP to States & Districts.
    • Leprosy Services integrated with General Health Care Services.
    • Early diagnosis and prompt MDT treatment through routine and special efforts.
    • Information, Education and Communication (IEC), also called "Behavioral Change & Communication (BCC) using local and Mass Media for reduction of Social Stigma and Discrimination.
    • Renewed emphasis on Disability Prevention and Medical Rehabilitation (DPMR).
    • Monitoring and Periodic Evaluation.
    • Inter-Sectoral collaboration.
     

    Objectives under the Twelfth Five Year Plan:

    • Elimination of leprosy i.e. prevalence of less than 1 case per 10,000 population in all districts of the country.
    • Strengthen Disability Prevention & Medical Rehabilitation of persons affected by leprosy.
    • Reduction in the level of stigma associated with leprosy.
     

    Programme Strategy:

    • Integrated Leprosy services through General Health Care Services.
    • Early diagnosis and prompt MDT treatment of new Leprosy cases through routine and special efforts.
    • Carrying out household contact survey for early detection of cases.
    • Involvement of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) in detection and completion of treatment of Leprosy cases on time.
    • Strengthening of Disability Prevention and Medical Rehabilitation (DPMR) services.
    • Information, Education and Communication (IEC), also called "Behavioral Change & Communication (BCC)" using local and Mass Media for reduction of Social Stigma and Discrimination, so that self reporting of the Leprosy disease to the Primary Health Centers (PHCs) is encouraged.
     

    Intensive monitoring and supervision at Primary Health Centers (PHCs) / Community Health Centers (CHCs).
