Description
Slide Series, Bangladesh 1990: "Leprosy - the old scourge" - No. 11: A leper woman with her child. Much superstition is associated with leprosy, e.g. that it is inherited. This woman, being a leper for many years, has a healthy child. An important part of the work is information about this, so leprosy can be regarded as a disease, which like others is treatable.
