Rooting out Tanzania s last leprosy cases

Content provided by Last updated: 11/03 - 13:50 In Kwa Bada village in north-eastern Tanzania, community health volunteer Sylvia Petro is hunting an ancient, endemic disease and shining a light on the devastating stigma that surrounds it. Leprosy has long plagued humanity yet has been treatable for decades by multidrug therapy. Described in the literature of ancient civilizations, sufferers are often shunned by fearful families and communities. Leprosy can cause permanent damage to the skin, nerves, limbs and eyes if left untreated. Yet when symptoms appear, patients often lock themselves away in shame, making it hard to treat and cure. Sylvia understands all this, as she has been treated for leprosy herself.
