An Appeal to the Donors

· Cost of Leprosy treatment should not be that high
· Think before you donate

Dear Donors,

This refers to the comparison of claimed cost of leprosy service

I am glad that a research paper explaining the details of how the cost factors were worked out by us in Bombay Leprosy Project (BLP) was presented at the recently concluded International Leprosy Congress in Hyderabad.

The paper was appreciated by the experts who attended the Session from various countries at the Congress.

We have recruited over 1000 patients under Leprosy Patients Relief Fund and the follow up is in progress.

Dr R Ganapati, Director Emeritus, BLP

PS: This is a request to all donors to be highly conscious about the cost benefit ratio before offering funds for leprosy relief work.
