12. Conclusion

Leprosy is still a public health problem in Indonesia. Although from year to year its prevalence decreased, new cases were still found in various populations and communities that did not belong to the risk group. Hard work is required to achieve the 2020 goal. Active case discovery is absolutely necessary for all layers of health workers, both in primary, secondary, and tertiary care. Government support both cross-program and cross-sectoral will help to reduce morbidity of leprosy. Public health centers are required to be more pro-active in sensitizing problems within their communities.
