Analysis of Grade-2 disability in new cases of leprosy to know the reasons for deformity in cases reported in Madhya Pradesh during 2016-17

摘要

Leprosy is a public health problem due to the disability it causes. Efforts are being made, to bring down the grade-2 disability rate to less than one per lac population among newly detected cases. This will in turn reduce disability due to leprosy, bring down the stigma and discrimination and would enhance early reporting.
