The Burden Of Leprosy In Indonesia

Sicanang, a leprosy settlement in Medan, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, was impacted by tidal floods on July 3, 2012. The World Health Organization has chosen "Beat Leprosy" as the theme for World Leprosy Day 2024. The goal is to eradicate the stigma associated with leprosy and promote the dignity of people affected by the disease. The commemoration aims to serve as a reminder of the need to address the social and psychological aspects of leprosy and the medical efforts to eliminate the disease. This call to action encourages the world to understand that leprosy is no longer a source of stigma, but rather an opportunity to demonstrate compassion and respect for all individuals.
