On 17th September 2023, APAL and APAL’s state committee in Telangana met with Dr. D John Babu sir, Joint Director (NLEP), and Additional Director Mr. Ravindra Nayak to discuss the problems we have been facing. We explained everything in detail, including the need for 2 MCR pairs of footwear to be provided per year.
We also discussed the importance of supplying bandages with supporting medicine in each colony. It was encouraging to hear that 9 people from Dichpally came to continue their work in the leprosy ward, even though general wards will now be done in Nizamabad government hospital. They even met with higher officials and spoke positively about the situation.
APAL is grateful to the Government authorities for their support and we want to give a special shoutout to Mr. Ramesh State Coordinator of APAL for his amazing contributions to the leprosy community in Telangana. We appreciate all that he has done to make a positive impact in the lives of fellow people affected by leprosy.
