An Interactive Meeting with the Staff of the TB and Leprosy Unit of the Hospital.
The organization had an interactive meeting with some staff working in the TB and leprosy unit of the hospital. The organization was sensitized on signs and symptoms of leprosy. During the meeting, fresh cases of Leprosy were brought to the hospital.
One of the staff emphasized on the need to create more awareness on Leprosy infection as many patients only come to the hospital at the chronic stage of the disease due to lack of knowledge of early symptoms of the disease.
