The Leprosy Mission operates in various countries around the world, primarily in regions where leprosy remains prevalent. Their work spans across parts of Asia, Africa, and South America, focusing on countries like India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia. The mission aims to provide medical care, rehabilitation, and social support for those affected by leprosy, while also working to eliminate the disease and combat stigma associated with it.
Princess Diana significantly contributed to the leprosy mission by raising awareness and reducing the stigma surrounding the disease. Her visit to leprosy clinics, especially in countries like India and Bangladesh, brought global attention to the plight of those affected. By publicly embracing and interacting with patients, she highlighted the importance of compassion and support, encouraging donations and funding for leprosy treatment and research. Her advocacy helped change perceptions and improve the lives of many suffering from this neglected disease.
