Abstract

The efforts to obtain the elimination of leprosy as a public health problem until 2005 in all countries has, among its central strategic elements, the training of health professionals, and integration of leprosy into the basic health system. The Sanitary Dermatological Program of the Health State Secretariat of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, has been implementing training in case detection, diagnosis, and treatment / follow-up of leprosy patients by professionals of the basic health system since 1998. The course "Leprosy in the Basic Health System" was performed in 2001 in
the eight regions of Rio de Janeiro State, with 79 of the 92 cities of the state sending 891 health professionals to be trained. Among then, 10.1% answered a questionnaire to evaluate the affectivity of the training. We observed a significant increase in the number of health professionals who work with leprosy patients after participating in the training, compared to the professionals working with leprosy before training, especially in relation to the physicians and "health agents" (p <0.05). These results demonstrate the affectivity and the need of continuous training, aiming to obtain and maintain the elimination of leprosy as a public health problem.
