Educational posters and leaflets on leprosy: raising awareness of leprosy for health-care workers in rural South Africa.
Leprosy is still occurring in the Republic of South Africa, but it has been eliminated as a public health problem. The country's leprosy care and control program is being provided as a primary health-care program within the general health-care services. Maintaining health workers' leprosy knowledge and awareness at the primary health-care level is one of the program's goals. In one of the country's rural areas, the availability of good-quality leprosy poster and leaflets at primary health-care facilities has been shown to contribute significantly to maintaining health workers' leprosy knowledge and awareness.
