What we do?

We are doing skin checkup for the school children to detect fresh cases. The children are not having adequate immunity power. Due to that children will get more infection than adult, we are doing this checkup at every primary school. We are also doing slum survey to find out new and old untreated cases.

• Total number of cases = 595
• Number of deformed cases found this year = 15
• Total number of deformed cases under our case = 175
• Total number of cases under treatment until end of this report = 208

Prevention of Deformity (POD)

We are giving every month chemotherapy treatment (MDT) to all detected cases. Every newfound patient gets MDT treatment for curing the infection. This activity aims to prevent deformity through early detection and treatment.

Physiotherapy treatment is also given to our deformed patients as well as active and passive exercises, wax baths and oil massages. Ulcer patients are getting ulcer dressing treatment and we advice these patients how to keep the limbs (hand&feet) without blisters and ulcers.
