Valuable inputs were provided by national leprosy programme managers, technical agencies, public health and leprosy experts, funding agencies and persons or members of communities directly affected by leprosy.
<br><br>
The Strategy aims to contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. It is structured along four pillars:
<br><br>
(‎i)‎ implement integrated, country-owned zero leprosy road maps in all endemic countries;<br>
(‎ii)‎ scale up leprosy prevention alongside integrated active case detection;<br>
(‎iii)‎ manage leprosy and its complications and prevent new disability; and<br>
(‎iv)‎ combat stigma and ensure human rights are respected. Interruption of transmission and elimination of disease are at the core of the Strategy.  a978 92 9022 839 4
