Romper el estigma

clave para la eliminación definitiva de la lepra
Authors: Juan Periche Fernández;

Romper el estigma

Abstract

La lepra es una enfermedad curable que, cuando se diagnostica de manera temprana, no ocasiona discapacidades permanentes. Sin embargo, el estigma, la discriminación y los prejuicios continúan siendo los principales obstáculos para su eliminación a nivel mundial. A pesar de la reducción significativa en la incidencia global, cada año se notifican nuevos casos, incluidos en la República Dominicana. La Estrategia Global contra la Lepra 2021–2030: Hacia Cero Lepra de la Organización Mundial de la Salud enfatiza que la reducción del estigma es central para alcanzar el control de la enfermedad. Este artículo analiza la importancia del diagnóstico precoz, la sensibilización pública y las intervenciones comunitarias para disminuir el estigma y mejorar los resultados en salud. El empoderamiento de las personas afectadas, el apoyo psicosocial y financiero, así como la participación comunitaria activa, son estrategias esenciales para promover la inclusión y proteger los derechos humanos. En la República Dominicana, el Patronato Dominicano de Lucha contra la Lepra y el Instituto Dermatológico y Cirugía de Piel Dr. Huberto Bogaert Díaz implementan estas medidas, fortaleciendo la capacitación médica y el compromiso comunitario. Estas acciones resultan fundamentales para acelerar el avance hacia la eliminación definitiva de la lepra.
