Your gift can make a real difference to someone whose leprosy requires treatment in hospital.

Medicines Patients with leprosy often need treatment for other complications, such as a reaction to multidrug therapy, the cure for leprosy. In order to promote inclusion and combat stigma, we also treat general patients for other illnesses. Your gift of medicines will be invaluable to someone in real need. |

Bandages Patients in our hospitals often need treatment for injuries and ulcers caused by the loss of feeling associated with leprosy. Good-quality medical supplies are vital to help them recover well and quickly. |

Food for Patient Leprosy is a disease of paverty; people with a poor diet are much more susceptible to the disease because their immune systems aren't robust enough to resist. An important part of a patient's recovery is ensuring that they get substantial, nourishing meals every day. |
