ATTEMPTS AT INTEGRATING THE TRAINING IN LEPROSY AND TUBERCULOSIS: EXPERIENCE, PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

After a year of preparation in cooperation with the International Union Against Tuberculosis (I.U.A.T .) the Ministry of Health of Ethiopia and staff of the medical Faculty of Addis Ababa University, the first course on Tuberculosis and tuberculosis Control was conducted at ALER T immediately after the Leprosy Doctors' Course of April 1983. The arrangement allowed for some of the participants working in combined leprosy /TB Control projects in Tanzania and Kenya to stay on to attend the TBC Course.
