Nobody could have predicted the impact our Heal Nepal campaign would have back in 2019. It is even more remarkable that the fight to end leprosy was so accelerated during a global pandemic. Today, we're so thankful that huge strides have been made in the fight to end leprosy in Nepal.

A new centre housing an A&E department, maternity unit, paediatric department and a critical care unit has opened at Anandaban Hospital in Nepal. An overwhelming response to The Leprosy Mission's UK Aid Match appeal in 2019 has made plans for the state-of-the-art facility a reality.

Heather Saranne, who oversees our projects in Nepal, reports back on an inspiring and encouraging visit.
