Joining the rest of the World to mark the 2017 World Leprosy Day, the World Health Organisation’s Global Health Observatory Data repository has ranked Nigeria as one of the countries in Africa with the highest burden of leprosy even as it recorded 2,893 new cases in 2015.
Meanwhile, no fewer than 212,000 more people were affected by leprosy globally in 2015.
In the Global Health Observatory Data Repository, which looked at reported cases country by country, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia were other African countries with extremely high burden of leprosy recording 4,237 and 3,970 cases respectively.
Although every year Nigeria records an insignificant drop in cases, the country in 10 years recorded 43,179 cases.
Dr Poonam Singh, WHO Regional Director for South-East Asia, speaking on this year’s World Leprosy Day, called for renewed commitment and the need for countries to scale up efforts towards eradicating the disease.
“An inclusive approach was needed to end the scourge of leprosy that has continued to afflict thousands of people every year. – Singh stressed.
Despite being eliminated globally as a public health problem in 2000, leprosy continues to mar the lives of individuals, and impacts families and communities.

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need
some help from an established blog. Is it very difficult
to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure
things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my
own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions?
Many thanks
First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear
your head before writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the
first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Appreciate it!
This website was… how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally I’ve found something which helped me. Kudos!
Hello my loved one! I wish to say that this post is awesome, great written and come with almost all vital infos.
I’d like to see extra posts like this .
I think that everything wrote was very reasonable. However, what about this?
suppose you were to write a awesome title? I ain’t suggesting your
information isn’t good., but what if you added a title to maybe get a person’s attention? I mean World Leprosy Day: Nigeria Rank High in Leprosy Index – Healthfacts is kinda boring.
You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article headlines to get viewers
interested. You might try adding a video or a related
pic or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it might bring your posts a
little livelier.
Pretty great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and
wished to mention that I’ve really enjoyed browsing your weblog posts.

more very soon!

Hey there this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I
wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to

with internet browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.

thanks
