World Leprosy Day – January 30

Leprosy, one of the world’s oldest diseases, continues to affect lives even today. Observed every year on the last Sunday of January, this day raises awareness about Hansen’s Disease and the need to eliminate stigma and discrimination against those affected.

Good morning 🌅 8am＠JP
おはようございます

The last Sunday in Jan is #WorldLeprosyDay.

Leprosy is a bacterial disease that affects the skin and nerves, and for a long time, misinformation has created stigma around it.

Today, with proper treatment, it is completely curable.

We want to spread awareness and eliminate stigma. ✨ #FundaySunday

　
1月最後の日曜日は「#世界ハンセン病の日」です
ハンセン病は菌による皮膚や神経の疾患ですが、誤った情報や偏見のために、患者やその家族は長く偏見にさらされました

現在は治療法が確立され、適切なケアで完治できる病気です

正しい知識を広め、偏見のない社会を目指したいです🤗 #日曜日を楽しく お過ごし下さい

Stigmatisierung beenden & Würde anerkennen: Herausforderungen und Hoffnungen zum #WeltLepraTag am 28. Januar.

Neben medizinischen Maßnahmen zur Lepra-Eliminierung bleibt auch der sozio-psychologische Aspekt zentral.
