WHO: Beat Leprosy
The Sicanang leprosy settlement in Medan, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, is being impacted by tidal floods on July 3, 2012. The World Health Organization is choosing ''Beat Leprosy'' as the theme for World Leprosy Day 2024. They are aiming to eradicate the stigma associated with leprosy and promote the dignity of people affected by the disease. The commemoration is serving as a reminder of the need to address the social and psychological aspects of leprosy, as well as the medical efforts to eliminate the disease. This call to action is encouraging 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.
