Health Event in January

World Leprosy Day -on the 31st January.
Leprosy is an infectious disease of the skin and
nerves which, if not diagnosed and treated quickly, can
result in debilitating disabilities. The effects of leprosy are
exacerbated by the stigma surrounding the disease.
World Leprosy Day takes place on the last Sunday
in January. This year it was on the 31st January. The day
aims to raise awareness of the disease. It was chosen by
French humanitarian Raoul Follereau in 1953 to coincide
with the anniversary of Mahatma Ghandi's death on
30thJanuary 1948.Everyday nearly 600 more people are
diagnosed and start treatment for leprosy. In 2014 alone
213,899 people were diagnosed and it is estimated that
millions go undiagnosed. The fact that children are still
being diagnosed with leprosy shows that the disease is still
being transmitted.
In 2014, over 14% of new leprosy cases were
children in Bihar state.

Today when leprosy is curable, the age old stigma

attached to it has not been cured. Early detection of leprosy
is the key to prevent long term complications. Therefore,
there is a need to educate and inform people about leprosy
for them to seek medical help at the earliest and also reduce
stigma and discrimination. It is also essential for people
affected by leprosy to know their rights and claim their
rightful place in the society.
Forth coming events in the month of February 2016.
Sate Task Force Meeting on RNTCP -February
2nd. Dr.Ann Mary, Asst.Prof. Dept of Community
Medicine &Dr.Hemalatha, Asst.Prof., Dept of
Pulmonology are representing SNIMS at this event to be
held at Sree Gokulam Medical College,
Vamanapuram,Thiruvananthapuram .
World Cancer Day 2016 - on February 4th.
