At the end of the one-year project period, the program aims to strengthen early detection and timely treatment of leprosy in rural areas through focused education and screening initiatives.
Early-stage identification of leprosy cases will be significantly improved, enabling prompt initiation of treatment.
Awareness levels among approximately 12,854 direct and 25,108 indirect beneficiaries in the project villages will increase substantially. At least 80% of the population will be able to recognize the early symptoms of leprosy.
A cadre of trained Health Promoters will be developed across the 12 project villages. These individuals will effectively address community communication needs and possess the skills to identify suspected cases and refer them to appropriate healthcare institutions for early intervention.
