2nd Global Forum

The 2nd Global Forum of People’s Organization on Leprosy was held on November 6-8, 2022, in Hyderabad, India, to discuss what challenges persons affected by leprosy face and the vision of the future they wish to create moving into the post-COVID era. While the Pandemic unleashed its fury globally, the most affected, predictably, are always the most vulnerable communities. The impact of CoV19 on access to health, education and livelihood among people affected by leprosy was studied. Thank you to everyone who participated, physically or virtually, from all over the world!
