What People Say About Us
Leprosy is a curable disease. Not only that but due to the introduction of MDT (Multi Drug Therapy) it is curable within a year, however mind set of the people is not yet changed. There are still many blind beliefs in the minds of the people that the leprosy is a curse of God. Once affected it may not be cured. These misconceptions are the main hurdles in treating the persons affected by leprosy because affected persons hide the disease & do not take treatment at an early stage.
Our Goals and objectives
If treated at the earlier it will not have any deformities, but unfortunately due to the social stigma people hide the disease and do not take proper treatment at the earliest. ILU is struggling hard to remove this blind belief & social stigma, by organizing Seminars & Workshops in various endemic states of the county.

Our focus is always on to remove stigma & discrimination associated with leprosy, We Disseminate accurate information about the disease.
