This retrospective descriptive study analyzed the succesfulness of controlling and prevention of leprosy by Deparment of Health Aceh Tenggara Regency (DHATR), Indonesia period 2010 to 2019. The required data (n=125) were extracted from the DHATR databases using a self-designed questionnaire. The new cases, grade 2 disability rate, recovery rate with multi-drug therapy (MDT), isolation measures for leprosy patients, bacille calmette-guerin (BCG) vaccination for the patients’ families, and tertiary prevention were analyzed using a cohort analysis. Succesfulness of the program was analyzed by referring the study results with the National Guidelines for Eradicating Leprosy (NGEL). Of the 125 patients, 62.4% were male. The new cases found for period: 2010 to 2016, > 5/100,000 population; 2017 to 2019, < 5/100,000 population. The incidence of level 2 disability period 2010 to 2019 was less than 25 cases/10 years and recovery in paucibacillary leprosy (PBL) and multibacillary leprosy (MBL) from 2010 to 2019 reached 100%.
