| integration of leprosy elimination into primary health care in orissa, india. | leprosy was eliminated as a public health problem (<1 case per 10,000) in india by december 2005. with this target in sight the need for a separate vertical programme was diminished. the second phase of the national leprosy eradication programme was therefore initiated: decentralisation of the vertical programme, integration of leprosy services into the primary health care (phc) system and development of a surveillance system to monitor programme performance. | 2009 | 20020051 |
