Herewith are enclosed the key indicators of the leprosy programme in Gabon during the last twenty years.
Last year we reported 17 patients with WHO grade 2 disability (our population estimated = 1 800 000). Our rate of new cases with invalidity grade 2 per 100,000 inhabitants is very high (0.93) and Gabon has planned to reduce it by 50% by the year 2015 (that is to say less than 9 cases with disability).
Best regards,
Dr Annick MONDJO
