To improve operational efficiency as well as to improve patient compliance in leprosy programmes, DANIDA introduced blister-calendar packs (BCP) to deliver MDT in 4 MDT districts in India in 1987. An objective study (Phase II) involving 343 patients in a trial group (BCP group) and 253 patients in a control group (loose drug group) showed no significant difference in compliance rates for self-administered dose between the 2 groups. Hence, while assessing the use of BCPs in leprosy programmes, other operational benefits like safe storage, easy transportation, easy drug accounting and safe preservation at home are to be considered. These aspects were followed up from Phase I of the study.
