  abstract = {<p>Leprosy control has improved significantly due to national and subnational campaigns in most endemic countries. Integration of primary leprosy services and effective collaborations and partnerships have led to a considerable reduction in leprosy burden. Nevertheless, new cases continue to occur in almost all endemic countries and high-burden pockets can exist against a low-burden background. Intensified and focused activities with multiple drug treatment have reduced the leprosy burden but sustaining the same level of focus and commitment is a challenge, especially in low-resource settings where equity of access is an issue.</p>
