Abstract
Introduction
leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, is an infectious, chronic, granulomatous entity caused by Mycobacterium leprae. It affects the skin, peripheral nerves, and sometimes internal organs. Late diagnosis can lead to irreversible disabilities and deformities.
Objective
this work aims to design an educational program for the prevention of leprosy-related disability.
Methods
during the research, theoretical methods such as analysis and synthesis, historical-logical, and systematization were applied; among the empirical ones, document review, survey, and focus group were used.
