Message from Deputy Director General (Leprosy) - Dr. G.P.S.Dhillon

Welcome to the NLEP website. The website has been designed to bring to you all the information available with the programme. We want to share all information and wish to have your feedback on any other aspect you feel should also be available to public.
As you know, the country has made tremendous progress in field of Leprosy during the last one decade. There are less than 0.1 Million recorded cases presently under treatment. The only way to reduce the number of cases now, is by detecting the hidden multibacillary cases and treating them early before they can spread the infection. Because of the stigma associated with the disease, inspite of all efforts, some people may try to hide their disease. This is unfortunate. We want help of all, to spread the message that leprosy is curable and without any deformity if diagnosed and treated early. Please help us and the suffering humanity.
With greetings for the festive season.
