The District Leprosy Prevention Committee has chalked out an ambitious plan of action for removing the scourage of leprosy in Jaipur district by the turn of the century. While a special survey has been undertaken to identify leprosy patients in primary health centres (PHCs) at the block level, a large number of leprosy prevention centres are also being established under the plan. A spokesman of the district administration said the intensive survey for the purpose was launched in November last year and was now being carried out for 10 days in a month in both the rural and urban areas.
