What is a leprosy community? | Health Wealth, Ep 75 | Health Podcasts

#HealthPodcast #Leprosy #IndiaHealthcare #LeprosyTreatment #LeprosyCommunitySupport #InclusiveHealthcare #LeprosyDiscrimination Leprosy is a bacterial infection that mainly affects the skin and nerves. While it is entirely curable, stigma and misinformation continue to isolate those affected. Why do such misconceptions persist? How can early detection and treatment help break the cycle of fear and discrimination? Dr Agarwal explains that India shoulders a large share of global leprosy cases. Even with preventive therapies and improved treatments, reaching underserved communities remains a major hurdle. Stigma makes it even harder for people to seek timely help, leading to avoidable disabilities and social challenges. This episode asks an important question: How can we shift our attitudes from exclusion to understanding? With awareness, early treatment, and community support, leprosy can not only be controlled but the lives of those affected can significantly improve. Watch!
