Jhapa Leprosy Reduction
JLR equips local health services with the knowledge and resources they need to diagnose, treat and contact trace child leprosy cases. The project delivers wide-scale school and community screening across six municipalities in Jhapa, expected to reach around 900,000 people. The project identifies transmission clusters and connects vulnerable families with life-changing treatment that prevents the onset of disability.
