Our teams administer weekly medical care to residents in the colonies and make financial provisions for surgeries. Residents eagerly anticipate the arrival of our teams, particularly during the rainy season when muddy conditions can irritate their wounds and ulcers and lead to infections. We also supply patients with bandages and educate them on how they can keep their wounds clean at home in between visits from our teams.
Leprosy is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae that leads to nerve damage and loss of sensation. A person who has contracted the disease becomes unable to feel pain and is at risk of injury and infection, particularly in the extremities. It is quite common for those with leprosy to have wounded and disfigured feet, and if left untreated, amputation may become necessary.
Our on-staff shoemaker provides our patients with special shoes to prevent further trauma and infection to their feet. Shoes are handmade and customized to meet the specific needs of the individual patient.
When older people contract leprosy, it can be particularly heartbreaking. Many do not have family or have been shunned by their relatives. They are left helpless and unable to care for themselves. Our hospice center in Coimbatore provides care to these individuals. Once left to feel hopeless and completely worthless, those at our hospice center begin to thrive. It is here that many enter a personal relationship with Christ, allowing them to live their final years with peace and fulfillment.
As their spirits are healed, so are their bodies. Whether receiving treatment within the colonies or at our hospice center, their faith and alleviated physical symptoms allow the people we serve to enjoy a higher standard of living.
