Abstract

Multidrug therapy (MDT) represents a most effective technology for the chemotherapy of leprosy. This has created a belief that elimination of leprosy through MDT is a possibility. However, the managerial implications of MDT are not always appreciated. This study highlights major managerial implications of MDT implementation using the Kaduna State Leprosy Control (Nigeria) as a focal point.
