Left untreated, it can cause progressive and permanent disability. However, a diagnosis of leprosy can have consequences that extend far beyond the disease's physical manifestations. The age-old stigma associated with leprosy can result in severe social discrimination, stripping people of opportunities in life and relegating them to the margins of society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book presents the most detailed account yet of Yohei Sasakawa's quest, over two decades as WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination, to work towards a world without leprosy and the discrimination it causes. It chronicles his travels to remote communities around the world to hear directly from those affected by the disease. It also documents his meetings with policy-makers, government leaders, and heads of state, advocating for renewed commitment to the fight against leprosy, including measures to protect the human rights of those affected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile much progress has been made, completing 'the last mile' in leprosy eradication is the hardest part of the journey. \u003cem\u003eMaking the Impossible Possible\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the author's unflagging resolve to ensure that all involved stay the course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536758620396,"sku":"9781787389472","price":115.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2900bcc36439b5e6a401e5c3547f9800.jpg?v=1776904409"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/yohei-sasakawa.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
