Leprosy can affect all age groups. In 1991 the World Health Assembly took major initiative towards global elimination of the disease. It was possible to achieve 90% reduction in leprosy cases all over the world. India is not lagging behind to eliminate leprosy as Government of India, various NGOs and IMA have joined hands to fight the menace aggressively. During the year 2004-05 the IMA organised training workshops on leprosy for private practitioners, who are mostly members of IMA. After the completion of workshops a wrap-up workshop was organised in each state. It was a treat opportunity for the IMA to mobilise its resources to contribute to the national cause.
麻风病可影响所有年龄组。1991年，世界卫生大会采取了重大举措以在全球消除该疾病。全球麻风病病例有可能减少90%。印度在消除麻风病方面并不落后，因为印度政府、各非政府组织和印度医学协会已携手积极应对这一威胁。在2004 - 2005年期间，印度医学协会为主要是该协会成员的私人执业医生举办了麻风病培训讲习班。讲习班结束后，在每个邦都组织了总结讲习班。这是印度医学协会调动其资源为国家事业做出贡献的难得机会。
