Lepra Society

"LEPRA is a non-governmental organisation that promotes quality health care, initiates and fosters new developments and implementation.

LEPRA focused specifically on supporting the government of India’s National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP) in Hyderabad. Leprosy control activities were carried out according to a Survey, Education and Treatment (SET) strategy in which identifying all patients living in an area, by means of case finding methods like mass, contact and school surveys, and treating them with multi-drug therapy (MDT) was the prime objective.

n addition to our focus areas leprosy and lymphatic filariasis (LF), LEPRA also works with TB, HIV/AIDS, eye-care, malaria and disabilities arising from other diseases.

LEPRA focuses health improvement activities in the community that are marginalised or poor, especially women and children, young people, slum populations and migrants affected by the above mentioned diseases and tries to bring about positive changes in their life-style."
