Ref: Are there leprosaria still in use in Europe?
From: Henk Menke, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Dear Salvatore,
I am a dermatologist in the Netherlands and now very much interested in leprosy history. Do you know of leprosaria (or lepra colonies) in Europe still in use? I know of Fontilles in Spain and Rovisco Pais in Portugal. Of course there are only a few leprosy patients in these institutes, which are used also for other issues.
Thank you,
Henk Menke (Dr)
