The WHA - at its 40th plenary Meeting - urges Member States with endemic leprosy:
(1) to allocate adequate priority to and resources for leprosy control within their public health services as part of primary health care;
(2) to strengthen health education through the media and community participation with a view to overcoming the stigma and phobias traditionally associated with the disease in many societies, and to institute adequate legal guarantees protecting the rights of cured leprosy patients;
