Today is World Mental Health Day. 🧠💚 The Leprosy Mission is highlighting a critical gap: the lack of accessible mental health services for the world's most vulnerable people. We are calling on governments to take urgent action to integrate mental health services into primary healthcare systems and ensure that mental health support is included in national leprosy programs. Stigma, isolation, and discrimination often accompany leprosy, making mental health support an essential component of care. By working together we can ensure that no one is left behind in the journey toward better health and wellbeing. 🌍💪 Read more in the article below #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #HealthForAll #LeprosyAwareness https://lnkd.in/ej4hV2gj

It is great to see people coming together to replant and restore the area around Anandaban Hospital, it is such a special place.
Earlier in May, a massive raged on in the forests surrounding Anandaban Hospital. While the fires didn't reach the hospital premises, it severely damaged the forests around the hospital. Last week, we began re-planting 🌱 the trees surrounding the hospital to kickstart the reconstruction process.

Today is #WorldLeprosyDay! Leprosy should not exist in the 21st century. But poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and stigma mean too many lives are devastated by the disease. Together, we can make sure that people affected get the cure they need and care they deserve. We can break down stigma, so everyone has the chance to thrive. We can end leprosy…are you with us? #leprosyawareness #stigma #endleprosy
