SENEGAL-HEALTH-DISABILITY-LEPROSY


TO GO WITH STORY BY PAULINE FROISSART

Doctor Charles Kinkpe poses on January 19, 2014 at the Hospital of the Order of Malta (HOM), a medical facility in Dakar at the forefront of treatment of the leprosy disease, on January 20, 2014. If considerable progress has been made against leprosy, it remains present in more than 100 countries in Africa, America, Asia and the Pacific. In 2012, more than 200,000 new cases were detected. World Leprosy Day -- a period of three days, in fact, aimed at raising awareness of the disease -- begins on January 23, 2014 and organisers hope to communicate the message that, despite more than 200,000 new cases being detected in 2012, it can be eradicated.
