10:30Now PlayingOver twenty years after meeting the World Health Organisation's elimination target, leprosy in Nigeria still remains a public health challenge. The Nigeria Centre for Diseases Control {NCDC} says at least 3,500 cases are reported annually.
For those living with the disease, life is unimaginably difficult. They live in slums and their children are hardly welcomed in schools.
Gist Nigeria takes a look at why Nigeria still struggles to stamp leprosy out of its society and end the marginalization of those living with the disease.
