The Zero Leprosy Roadmap
What is the Zero Leprosy Roadmap?
We support the development of a country-owned roadmap to achieve no disease, no disability, and no discrimination or stigma. Following the country review, stakeholders convene to analyze data and design a National Zero Leprosy Roadmap to measure and monitor progress toward agreed-upon milestones, in alignment with the WHO Roadmap for Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021–2030. The National Leprosy Programme Manager presents the roadmap to the Ministry of Health for approval and adoption.
