This paper presents a record of a focus group discussion that took place in Nyapyitaw, Myanmar in December 2010. Those contributing to the focus group discussion were senior post holders in the National Leprosy Control Programme (NLCP), Myanmar. The Myanmar programme had been targeted for further enquiry after it became apparent, through an earlier survey of national programme managers and consultants, that the programme had been relatively successful in the measures taken to facilitate the integration of POD into the government health delivery programme. The experience gained by the NLCP, Myanmar was recorded and is offered here as an example of how POD can be successfully developed by a government leprosy control programme to become integral to general health delivery.
