Dear Dr Pahum,

 

Thank you very much for your message [LML Nov. 19^th, 2012].  Yes, the world leprosy day is observed on the last Sunday of January.

 

World Leprosy day has a special significance to me as both my parents Dr Stanley Browne and Mali Browne both died on this day but 20 years apart.  Their gravestone in Brockenhurst, Hampshire states that were reunited on World Leprosy day.

 

Derek Browne
