Even though the diagnosis and treatment of leprosy is now easy, the disease still remains a significant problem here in Nepal. Poverty,the stigma of leprosy and poor healthcare all contribute to the high rate. Earlier in the week we visited Green Pastures Leprosy Hospital and saw patients with all levels of the disease.
It was a very thought provoking and emotional visit.
The rehabilitation area had different walking areas to prepare patients for life outside the hospital.
