Both strong and weak points have been detected and it is therefore advisable to reinforce the findings that are positive and to seek solutions to the problems. 82.1% of the male nurses in charge of health center included in the survey have already had to refer suspected cases of leprosy to the Leprosy Specialist for confirmation. In 85.7% of the cases, it is the Nurses-Persons in Charge who administer the supervised dose of multidrug therapy. The external validity of this study is problematic; nevertheless, these results could still draw the attention of administrators, decision-makers, and other persons of influence to the problems that could curb the integration of leprosy control with the general health services.</p>  a0001-5938
