CWN Editor's Note: “Responding successfully to the challenge of leprosy is well within our grasp as medicine and technology have provided helps and cures that were never before available,” said Cardinal Michael Czerny, SJ, Interim Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development. “Early detection and multidrug therapy continue to bring hope and healing to thousands.”
