Leprosy: Global Control and Challenges

Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is a chronic infectious disease primarily affecting the skin, peripheral nerves, upper respiratory tract, and eyes. Although it is a treatable disease, leprosy remains a significant health challenge in many parts of the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions where social stigma, delayed diagnosis, and limited access to healthcare continue to impede progress toward its eradication. The factors contributing to the persistence of leprosy in these areas, including socio-economic conditions, population mobility, and inadequate healthcare access. Multi-drug therapy (MDT), the standard treatment for leprosy, has been highly successful in reducing transmission and preventing disability. However, challenges remain in ensuring widespread and equitable access to MDT, particularly in rural and remote areas.
