AB - The involvement of communities and persons affected is not a new concept in primary health care and disease programs. Human rights-based approaches to NTDs, including leprosy, emphasise that any interventions should be based on the principles of participation, non-discrimination and accountability[1]. WHO has issued specific Guidelines for strengthening participation of persons affected by leprosy in leprosy services[2]. However, the active participation of persons affected by leprosy is not always a reality.
