About leprosy

  • LEPROSY is like any other disease and it is the least infectious.
  • LEPROSY is caused by a germ. It is neither hereditary nor a curse of the Gods.
  • A pale or red patch on the skin may be leprosy. Do consult a doctor.
  • LEPROSY is completely curable with regular treatment. Early detection and regular treatment prevent deformities and disabilities.
  • LEPROSY patients can continue to live at home and do normal work while under treatment.
  • Do not isolate leprosy patients. Accept them in the family and community.
