The Leprosy Mission Hospital Naini

According to the WHO statistics, India has more than half of the world’s leprosy affected. And Northern India (Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Chattisgarh) continues to see new leprosy patients. TLM Naini is the only NGO referral hospital catering to the specialized needs of the leprosy affected by proving not just the cure (MDT) for leprosy, but treating for the complications and sequelae of the disease upon the patient and his family. This package includes-

1. Treatment of Lepra reversal reactions
2. Prevention of Deformity (POD) activities
3. Reconstructive surgery for deformities
4. Footcare and appropriate footwear
5. Ulcer care and its prevention
6. Social development
7. Capacity building and vocational training.

A feature worth mentioning is our care for the leprosy affected with chronic ulcers. Other hospitals are happy to provide MDT, perform surgeries for deformity or treat lepra reactions, but close their door when a patient with an ulcer confronts them. Ulcers are a pungent, visible sign of disease and many patients who are turned away from Government hospitals or private clinics come to us for treatment.
