30 January — World Leprosy Eradication Day

World Leprosy Day was established in 1954 by French philanthropist and writer, Raoul Follereau, as a way to raise global awareness and call attention to the fact that leprosy can be prevented, treated, and cured. It is celebrated with the aim of raising awareness and knowledge about leprosy, the fact that it can be cured, and changing attitudes that stigmatise and marginalise people affected by the disease.

World Leprosy Day is celebrated on January 30, in India on Mahatma Gandhi’s death anniversary. The world celebrates leprosy day on the last Sunday of January. It is celebrated to raise public awareness of leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease.

This year, we unite around one goal, which is to Beat Leprosy. This world leprosy day, we invite the international community to help spread the word that leprosy is curable, join in the fight to end stigma, and advocate for the mental wellbeing of persons who have experienced leprosy and other neglected tropical diseases.

What is Leprosy:

Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. The disease mainly affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tract, and the eyes. Leprosy is known to occur at all ages ranging from early infancy to very old age. Leprosy is curable and treatment in the early stages can prevent disability.

National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP)

The National Leprosy Control Programme was launched by the Government of India in 1955, after introduction of Multi Drug Therapy from 1982, the programme converted in to National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP) in the year 1983 with the objective of achieving eradication of the disease from the country.

In 2005, though the elimination of leprosy at national level has been achieved; but still around 57% of the worlds’ leprosy affected persons live in India. 554 districts (81.23%) out of total 682 districts have achieved elimination by March 2017.

Early case detection and treatment is the key to achieve elimination as detection of leprosy cases early in the community will lead to reduction of sources of infection in the community and also interrupt the transmission of the disease. ASHAs are helping in case detection and to assure complete treatment at community level; for that they are being paid an incentive.

Sparsh Leprosy Awareness Campaign, 2018

On 30th Jan, martyrdom of Mahatma Gandhi, Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare is observing Sparsh Leprosy Awareness Campaign, 2018 to create awareness about leprosy. ‘Sparsh Leprosy Awareness Campaign’ will be conducted as an annual activity during the fortnight beginning from 30th January till 13th February.
