creation of self-help groups within the  community, training for health professionals in the early detection of  leprosy and the treatment of identified cases. A key element of the  project will be the provision of improved information on the danger  signs, and communicating the message that leprosy can be treated. This  is crucial in the fight against this disease and the stigma that is  associated with it in Indian society.<\/p>\n    \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For  decades, India has been the country most affected by leprosy in the  world. Every day, some <strong>600 new cases are detected, of which 55 in  children under 14<\/strong>. Child leprosy is an indication that transmission of  the disease is ongoing, that it occurs at an early age, and that more  cases will appear in the future. The number of cases of visible  disabilities upon diagnosis has increased in recent years, indicating  that leprosy is being diagnosed late and that there is a lack of  information on early symptoms of the disease. Late diagnosis also means  that the disease may potentially have been transmitted over a longer  period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the fact that the origin of the disease is  known and that effective treatment exists, families and affected people  still suffer rejection and discrimination in their closest environment.  In India, there are still <strong>16 laws<\/strong> in force which classify leprosy as an  incurable and highly contagious disease, making it a valid reason for  dismissal from work, divorce or separating children from their families.  Some laws ban those affected from taking up public office, and in cases  where leprosy has led to disability, this is not recognised as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The  project aims to promote early diagnosis of leprosy and boost  information, education and communication activities for early diagnosis in <strong>25 schools<\/strong>; specific training of <strong>75 professionals<\/strong> in <strong>6 health centres <\/strong> such that they can acquire the capacity to detect the disease, and the  creation of <strong>25 self-help groups<\/strong>, each integrated by approximately <strong>18 people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increasing information on danger signals and what to do if\n leprosy is detected, as well as knowing that treatment is available, \nthat leprosy can be cured and disabilities prevented, are key elements \nin the fight against this disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is estimated that the  campaigns will detect <strong>100 new cases<\/strong>, which will be treated by the local  organisation. The <strong>130 cases<\/strong> currently undergoing treatment since the  previous year will also be monitored.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/m-wysiwig>\n\n\n    <m-projects-distributor2 :translations='{\n        &quot;prev&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,\n        &quot;next&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,\n        &quot;paginationseparator&quot;:&quot;of&quot;\n    }'>\n                        <h2 slot=\"title\">\n                Our projects around the world                <\/h2>\n                        <a slot='button' title='See more projects' href='https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/business-lines\/projects\/'>\n            See more projects        <\/a>\n\n                            <c-card slot=\"carouselItems\" type=\"type-1\" link=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-ca\/business\/projects\/ontario-line-south\/\"  >\n                                                <img slot='background' src='https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/02170708\/corktown-station-piling-ontario-line-360x640.jpg' alt='Ontario Line South' \/>\n                                                        <h3 slot=\"title\" role=\"listitem\">\n                                    Ontario Line South                                <\/h3>\n                                                                                <c-link slot=\"link\" type=\"negative\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-ca\/business\/projects\/ontario-line-south\/\">\n                                Discover the project                            <\/a>\n                        <\/c-link>\n                    <\/c-card>\n                                        <c-card slot=\"carouselItems\" type=\"type-1\" link=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-ca\/business\/projects\/jorge-chavez-international-airport-in-lima-peru\/\"  >\n                                                <img slot='background' src='https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/26170909\/torre-de-control-peru-lima-ferrovial-360x640.jpg' alt='Jorge Ch\u00e1vez Airport, Peru' \/>\n                                                        <h3 slot=\"title\" role=\"listitem\">\n                                    Jorge Ch\u00e1vez Airport, Peru                                <\/h3>\n                                                                                <c-link slot=\"link\" type=\"negative\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-ca\/business\/projects\/jorge-chavez-international-airport-in-lima-peru\/\">\n                                Discover the project                            <\/a>\n                        <\/c-link>\n                    <\/c-card>\n                                        <c-card slot=\"carouselItems\" type=\"type-1\" link=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-ca\/business\/projects\/construction-on-stretch-2-of-the-santiago-de-chile-metros-line-6\/\"  >\n                                                <img slot='background' src='https:\/\/static.ferrovial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/13140415\/linea-6-metro-chile-avion-1920x1280-360x640.jpg' alt='Santiago de Chile Metro&#039;s Line 6' \/>\n                                                        <h3 slot=\"title\" role=\"listitem\">\n                                    Santiago de Chile Metro&#8217;s Line 6                                <\/h3>\n                                                                                <c-link slot=\"link\" type=\"negative\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en-ca\/business\/projects\/construction-on-stretch-2-of-the-santiago-de-chile-metros-line-6\/\">\n                                Discover the project                            <\/a>\n                        <\/c-link>\n                    <\/c-card>\n                        <\/m-projects-distributor2>\n\n    ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":82075,"menu_order":0,"template":"","nivel-1":[],"nivel-2":[8126,5485,6331,6221,6222,9061],"nivel-3":[],"nivel-4":[],"nivel-5":[],"class_list":["post-122571","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","nivel-2-corporate-social-responsibility-en-ca","nivel-2-health-and-safety-en-ca","nivel-2-juntos-sumamos-stronger-together-en-ca","nivel-2-ngo-en-ca","nivel-2-social-projects-en-ca","nivel-2-solidarity-en-ca-2"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Eradication of Leprosy and Improvement in the Quality of Life of People Affected by Leprosy in Bangalore - Ferrovial<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Welcome to the Ferrovial&#039;s website, global operator of sustainable infrastructure.
