The National Leprosy Eradication Programme
The National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP) is a government initiative aimed at eliminating leprosy as a public health problem. The program focuses on early detection, prompt treatment, and raising awareness to prevent new cases and reduce disability associated with the disease.
Under NLEP, patients receive free diagnosis and multidrug therapy (MDT) to ensure complete cure and prevent transmission. The program also emphasizes community education to reduce stigma, encourage early reporting of symptoms, and promote social inclusion for affected individuals.
Through dedicated healthcare services, active case detection, and continuous monitoring, NLEP strives to achieve a leprosy-free society. Our hospital supports this mission by providing comprehensive care, counseling, and follow-up for patients diagnosed with leprosy, ensuring their physical, emotional, and social well-being.
