DLS provides assistance to the lepers in Kontum
Damien the Leper Society provides medication and medical instrument support to 183 lepers in Sa Thay, Dak To, Tu-Mo-Rong and Dak Ha districts of Kontum.
Wound Care Project
While leprosy attacks the nerve sites and causes terrible pain, the lepers feel little pain at the actual wound sites since a lot of the nerves are no longer functioning. The results are wounds that are slow to heal and eat away the lepers’ bodies.
