The country's leprosy care and control program is being provided as a primary health-care program within the general health-care services. Maintaining health workers' leprosy knowledge and awareness at the primary health-care level is one of the program's goals. In one of the country's rural areas, the availability of good-quality leprosy poster and leaflets at primary health-care facilities has been shown to contribute significantly to maintaining health workers' leprosy knowledge and awareness.enAssociation of Schools of Public HealthEducational postersPostersLeafletsLeprosyAwarenessHealth-care workersSouth Africa (SA)Rural areasPublic health educationPrimary health care (PHC)Health care programControl programKnowledgeHealth workersPublic healthEerstehoekEliminationMpumalangaCommunicable diseaseLeprosy -- South AfricaMedical personnelLeprosy--Diagnosis -- AwarenessArticle
