A questionnaire study of 1470 patients from these districts showed that more than 90% accepted BCP and found them to be very convenient for domiciliary treatment. A similar study of 127 treatment providers indicated that delivery of MDT through BCP was found convenient to overcome logistic problems.</p>  a0305-7518
