YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn the last Sunday in January, the world will celebrate World Leprosy Day. This year, on January 26, Saint Lucia joined the global observance, highlighting the theme: “Beating Leprosy, Ending Stigma, and Advocating for Mental Well-being.”
Leprosy has been part of human history since biblical times but remains misunderstood and feared by many. This disease affects the skin, peripheral nerves, and eyes, potentially causing visible deformities, loss of limbs, and even blindness if not treated early. The stigma associated with leprosy can be as crippling as the disease itself, leading to isolation, discrimination, and a significant toll on mental health. It is our responsibility to educate ourselves and others, dispelling myths, fostering understanding, and promoting inclusion.
