The popular perception is that leprosy is an ancient disease that has been eradicated many years ago. But the reality is, leprosy is still prevalent, with more than 200,000 people being diagnosed every year worldwide. Even though leprosy can be completely cured, the disease is one of the world’s most stigmatised diseases, and people affected by the disease are considered as social outcasts in many parts of the world. They are denied basic human rights, discriminated against, and forced to live subhuman lives.

Leprosy, also called Hansen’s disease, is a chronic (chronic diseases often cause long-term physical and social effects), mildly contagious bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium leprae, a slow-multiplying bacterium. Dr Gerhard Henrik Armauer Hansen of Norway identified the bacterium that causes leprosy, way back in 1873. Most commonly, the disease affects the skin, peripheral nerves, lining of the nose, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, small bones and the eyes.
