SYMPTOMS
Numbness on some part of a body for very long period of time and it starts becoming darker black until it becomes senseless, later to show the infections,

Preventing disabilities ?
Leprosy control is about detecting, curing and finding people affected by the disease at an early stage before nerve damage and wear and tear lead to permanent disability.

With care, majority of the people with grade 1 disability, i.e., a loss of sensation, can lead normal lives. Prevention of disability programmes are designed to help people with problems such as numbness by enabling 'self care' and to prevent their limbs from eventually becoming unusable.


Rehabilitation ?
Rehabilitation programmes have been introduced with the aim of reducing the impact of disabilities on the social and economic life of the leprosy affected persons, and enabling them to undertake income-generating occupations to support themselves and their families. Various rehabilitation services are provided by the projects depending on the needs of the clients, their age, sex, work potential, skills and educational status. The societal acceptance and stigma also is a major determinant. Some of the activities undertaken as part of the rehabilitation programme are:

Old age pension
Maintenance allowance
Arrangement of loans from government and philanthropists
Arrangement of tools for self-employment
Student scholarships
Psycho-social counselling
Community based rehabilitation with the active involvement of the community
