Maharashtra has declared leprosy a notifiable disease, requiring all healthcare providers to report cases within two weeks to improve early detection and treatment.
The move, part of a plan to eliminate leprosy by 2027, aims to reduce transmission, prevent disabilities, and combat stigma.
As of September 2025, the state reported 7,863 new cases and 13,010 patients under treatment.
Officials emphasize that leprosy is curable with timely care, urge prompt medical attention for symptoms, and promote Post-Exposure Prophylaxis for close contacts.
