USA Supporters Are Vital to Reducing Leprosy in Bangladesh

Published Thu, May 27, 21. Written by Kathleen Connors.

Dhanjuri Leprosy Center Director Fr. Michael D’Cruze provided an update on how the assistance of PIME USA supporters has been essential for the Center in Bangladesh.  The Center has been able to implement early leprosy case detection to reduce disabilities among the people of Dinajpur.  It has brought leprosy awareness and education to schools and markets, performed health checkups and follow up care (at the center or with home visits), and provided specialized footwear.

Thanks to your support the neediest and most vulnerable among us are not forgotten, especially during the pandemic.
