              India's Leprosy Battle Stymied by Continuing Stigma

   Medical advancements in the treatment of leprosy have greatly
   diminished its impact around the world, largely eliminating the disease
   from most countries. India made great strides in combating leprosy, but
   still accounts for a majority of the world's new cases each year, and
   the number of newly infected Indians is rising - more than 130,000
   recorded last year. Doctors there say the problem has more to do with
   society than science. VOA News reports from Kolkata.
