Leprosy Relief
Leprosy Relief Services
GRETNALTES has been a cornerstone of the National Leprosy Elimination Programme, serving over 3 million people across Guntur, Khammam, and Rangareddy districts.
"Our mission is to challenge the deep-seated social stigmas surrounding Leprosy. By combining medical excellence with compassionate care, we help patients reclaim their health and their dignity."
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Leprosy as a chronic infectious disease that primarily affects the skin, peripheral nerves, and upper respiratory tract. While historically feared, it is curable, and early treatment prevents permanent disability.
DISPEL: Disability Prevention and Education
Care After Cure: Even after the disease is cured with Multi-Drug Therapy (MDT), physical impairments can remain. Our DISPEL project focuses on 'Care after Cure', providing essential services like ulcer healing, surgical corrections, and the supply of specialized Micro Cellular Rubber (MCR) footwear.
POID: Prevention of Impairments and Disabilities
Since 2010, POID has empowered patients through self-care education. Our mobile action teams—comprising physio-technicians and counselors—travel directly to communities to provide extensive training in managing disabilities and emotional support.
Specialized Referral Hospital
Established in 1984 at Morampudi, our hospital is a beacon of hope for patients in Guntur, Prakasam, and Krishna districts. Recognized by the Central Leprosy Division, we provide specialized clinical care including physiotherapy and complication management.
DPMR & Surgical Care
Under the Disability Prevention and Medical Rehabilitation (DPMR) initiative, we focus on Reconstructive Surgeries (RCS). Our dedicated RCS center, started in 2007, has successfully performed over 1,000 surgeries, helping patients regain vital functionality in their hands and feet.
