The State of Leprosy Today

The World Health Organization has a global leprosy strategy that has three main targets. The first is to completely eliminate what they call disabilities associated with leprosy in children. In adults, the second goal is to decrease the disease so that it's less than one per million people. And third, which I think is one of the most important, and I'm shocked that they're still working on this, is that they want to make sure there are zero countries in the world with legislation that allows for discrimination on the basis of leprosy.
