As the infection of the new coronavirus spreads, it was reported that prejudice and discrimination surfaced against patients, their families, medical staff, etc. In response, Leprosy recovered persons and their families have said that they should not repeat the events they have experienced in the past. In this exhibition, we will collect and introduce those messages in one place.
