WORLD LEPROSY WEEK 26.01.2015

Population increase rate of cities are four times that of  rural areas; and when migration is taken into account, importance of health planning of local authorities becomes clearer. We, as UCLG-MEWA, invite local authorities to take measures against leprosy disease in their health planning, on the occasion of the World Leprosy Week, which aims at raising awareness for the disease, attributed to Gandhi, the hero of the fight for freedom of India, for his studies on Leprosy disease.
