The epidemiological situation of leprosy is reported by the health division of each country to WHO. The reported data is collected by WHO and is immediately run on the Weekly Epidemiological Record. On this latest edition, data from the beginning of 2007 was reported. In almost all of the highly endemic countries, control activities have been integrated within the general healthcare system. However, Leprosy control programmes in many countries will need continued support from all partners to ensure that leprosy remains on the health agenda as long as necessary and that success does not lead to complacency.
