World Leprosy Day 2026: Even today, some diseases have not been openly treated as treatment in this world and are still counted as a form of discrimination or stigma. This includes leprosy, although its treatment is becoming successful but even today people do not have the right feelings towards this disease. To break these myths and find the right cure for leprosy, like every year on January 30 across the world, ‘World Leprosy’ is celebrated. The day is celebrated.
In fact, this day is especially remembered by connecting it with the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, because Gandhiji understood the pain of leprosy patients by staying with them and gave an example of respect for them in the society.
Know the purpose of World Leprosy
If we talk about the main objective of this World Leprosy, it is to eliminate the stigma and discrimination to leprosy, to spread awareness among the people and to appeal to give a dignified life to the people affected by this disease. Actually, leprosy is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae. The good thing is that its treatment is completely possible.
With free medicines called multi-drug therapy, the patient gets completely cured within a few months. If the disease is detected in the early stages, there is no permanent damage to the hands and legs and the patient can live a normal life.
