[Leprosy control and multidrug therapy in Togo: problems and perspectives]
Abstract
After several years of control effort using multidrug therapy, there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. There remain, however, many obstacles preventing the Programme from achieving a better health status for sufferers. The Togo Government, in cooperation with its partners, is preparing a National Leprosy and Tuberculosis Action Plan.
