ABSTRACT
A self-care programme aimed at preventing leprosy-related physical disabilities in a leprosy colony in Champa, Chattisgarh, India, is described. Once the initial resistance was overcome through persistent and caring attitudes, the residents accepted the challenges for self-care. The outcome at the end of one year showed significant decline (41%) in ulcer rates, significant use of MCR footwear (43%), and significant proportion (over 90%) of patients and their families practising and helping in self-care activities.
