The Leprosy Mission

Leprosy - does it still exist?

Unfortunately, it does. The Leprosy Misssion (TLM) is currently caring for the needs of over 200,000 people affected by the disease. Most of our patients and hospitals are in India, though we also work in Africa and South East Asia.

Is there a cure?

Yes. leprosy can be cured with multidrug therapy (MDT). More than 10 million people have been cured since MDT's introduction in 1982, but half a million new cases are still being detected each year.
