until No Leprosy Remains
We take pride in enabling research and driving evidence-based innovation. Ongoing research on and implementation of preventive treatment provides hope that stopping leprosy transmission is coming within reach. It will take joint effort but we have the ambition to continue until No Leprosy Remains.
Even today, leprosy causes disability and social exclusion. The disease affects millions of lives. The NLR Alliance developed three strategic programmes to work towards a leprosy-free world: Zero Transmission, Zero Disability, and Zero Exclusion

2020 was a year of challenge, change and contemplation. See what NLR was able to achieve in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 12 highlights.
Cooperation is the basis of our work. NLR’s mission to stop the transmission of leprosy can only be done in partnership with others. The recently awarded joint project on mapping methods of clustering leprosy case data shows clearly this way of working in practice.
