We introduced history of leprosy in Myanmar based on the book of Myanmar Academy of Medical Science published entitled "CONQUEST OF SCOURGES IN MYANMAR (Complied and Edited by Ko Ko, Kyaw and U Thaung) at 2002. "Leprosy Elimination Programme in Myanmar (Kyaw Lwin and Kyaw Nyunt Stein)" was appeared at chapter III in it. After dapsone treatment appeared, leprosy control program has started. Health system and service were developed and leprosy control program was also included in them. The integration of the elimination activities into basic health workers, such as midwives and health volunteers, has enabled the participation of a wide range of people in the community. After 1990s, multidrug therapy (MDT) was covered whole area of Myanmar, and task force for leprosy elimination was formed at Sate/Division, District and Township level. Finally Myanmar achieved the elimination of leprosy in January in 2003.
我们依据2002年缅甸医学科学院出版的名为《缅甸疫病的征服》（由Ko Ko、Kyaw和U Thaung汇编编辑）一书中的内容，介绍了缅甸的麻风病史。其中第三章出现了《缅甸的麻风病消除计划》（Kyaw Lwin和Kyaw Nyunt Stein）。氨苯砜治疗出现后，麻风病防治计划开始实施。卫生系统和服务得到发展，麻风病防治计划也被纳入其中。将消除活动纳入助产士和健康志愿者等基层卫生工作者的工作中，使得社区中的广泛人群能够参与进来。20世纪90年代后，多药联合化疗（MDT）覆盖了缅甸全境，并在邦/省、县和乡镇层面成立了麻风病消除特别工作组。最终，缅甸于2003年1月实现了麻风病的消除。
