The People of MSS:
A group of leprosy patients chat while outside.
MSS offers free healthcare to leprosy survivors. Even after they are cured,
they suffer from the after-effects of the disease. The majority of the post
leprosy treatment consists of operations and therapy to minimize the
disability (orthopedic/ visual) that result from the disease. If necessary,
orthopedic aids (braces, artificial leg, tricycle etc) are provided to
enhance the quality of life of the patients. The other major part of the
post leprosy treatment is the prevention and treatment of the deformities
that often occur with cured leprosy patients due to insensitivity of the
limbs (nerve damage) and skin.
