About Leprosy
While the prospects for people affected by leprosy have vastly improved, leprosy remains a disease that destroys lives and blights communities.
Every 2 Minutes
One person is diagnosed with leprosy.
Leprosy is Curable
Leprosy can be cured with multi-drug therapy (MDT), a combination of three antibiotics: rifampin, clofazimine and dapsone.
Early Diagnosis & Treatment
Early signs of leprosy include spots on the skin that may be slightly red, darker or lighter than normal skin.
