WHO: Beat Leprosy
A patient is showing a multi-drug packaging while being hospitalized at Sicanang Leprosy Special Hospital in Medan, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, on July 3, 2012. The World Health Organization is promoting ''Beat Leprosy'' as the theme for World Leprosy Day 2024. They are aiming to eradicate the stigma associated with leprosy and to promote the dignity of those affected by the disease. The commemoration is intended to remind people of the importance of addressing both the social and psychological aspects of leprosy, as well as the medical efforts to eliminate it. This initiative encourages the world to understand that leprosy should no longer be a source of stigma, but an opportunity to show compassion and respect for all individuals.
