WHO: Beat Leprosy
Tukino, 56, a resident of a leprosy settlement, is asking for alms at a traffic intersection in Medan, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, on October 22, 2020. The World Health Organization is promoting ''Beat Leprosy'' as the theme for World Leprosy Day 2024, aiming to eradicate the stigma associated with leprosy and to uphold the dignity of those affected by the disease. The commemoration is serving as a reminder to address both the social and psychological aspects of leprosy, as well as the medical efforts to eliminate it. This call to action is encouraging 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.
