WHO: Beat Leprosy
Tukino, 56, a resident of a leprosy settlement, is standing with a prosthetic leg 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 eliminate the stigma associated with leprosy and to uphold 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 impacts of leprosy, as well as the medical efforts to eradicate it. This initiative encourages the global community to recognize that leprosy should no longer be seen as a source of stigma, but rather as an opportunity to show compassion and respect for all individuals.
