"The
quality of life, mental health, and perceived stigma of leprosy
patients in Bangladesh"
From:
Das P. K., Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Dear Salvatore,
After reading the interesting Article attached
by Madam Justice (LML May 27th, 2007), I wonder how the
parameters like QOL, mental health sensitivity and stigma association
if evaluated in countries other than that reported for Bangladesh will
compare.
Moreover, how much these
parameters are correlated with each other? Leprosy related stigma
will not vanish so quickly, but we have to pay attention to the
fact that the quality of life improves according to the population at
large.
