Leprosy Screening Camp

INF New Zealand is sponsoring a leprosy screening camp in one of Nepal’s most remote and least accessible districts. This is an important step toward early detection, prevention, and management of leprosy in areas where healthcare access remains extremely limited.

Leprosy, or Hansen’s disease, is caused by Mycobacterium leprae. It damages nerves and muscles, and symptoms can take from one to twenty years to appear. It is usually spread through droplets from the nose and mouth during close, frequent contact with an untreated person. Without treatment it can cause permanent damage to the skin, nerves, limbs and eyes.

Since 1952 the International Nepal Fellowship has cared for people with leprosy, providing multi-drug therapy, surgery, peer counselling, self-care training and assistive devices. INF also helped pioneer government-led leprosy control work across Western Nepal, reaching some of the poorest and most remote communities.

Nepal declared leprosy eliminated in 2009, meaning fewer than one case per 10,000 people, but the disease has not disappeared. More than 3000 new cases are identified each year and the number is rising.
