Nepal Leprosy Trust (NLT) Elective Opportunities
http://www.nlt.org.uk

The Nepal Leprosy Trust is a UK-based Christian agency that provides services to people affected by leprosy in the Kingdom of Nepal.

NLT serves not only those affected by leprosy, but also other marginalised groups. Its early work, which began in 1972, included establishing a range of rehabilitation, income generation and financial assistance projects for people affected by leprosy, destitute women and children, and other disadvantaged people. Following 20 years of experience, the Trust established Nepal's third leprosy referral hospital at Lalgadh, in the southeast of the country. It was officially opened in 1996 and is now a major centre with over 30,000 visits per year, offering much more than just medical diagnosis and treatment.
