Abstract:
A young man is sitting on a low wall; right elbow on his knee, and hand to cheek; the fingers of his left hand are bandaged. Verso: WHO/18201. SEARO. Leprosy. SM 5-1979. His bandaged fingers give this young sufferer cause to think about his future. But today a cure is possible, even if the treatment takes as long as six years.
