Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal zoonotic infection and often neglected due to lack of knowledge. As an occupational disease, it has become a global concern due to its disease burden in endemic countries and rural areas. The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention for knowledge on minimizing the delays in seeking treatment of leptospirosis among farmers in Monaragala District, Sri Lanka. An interventional package was developed and delivered using SMS, postcards, announcements, and education through GPs, aiming to minimize delays related to the awareness in seeking treatment for leptospirosis.
