    • Main Results:

    • Stigma and negative societal perceptions are major barriers to effective Hansen's disease control.
    • Failure to address social and economic factors undermines public health interventions.
    • A comprehensive destigmatization program is essential for successful disease management.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective control of Hansen's disease requires a multi-faceted approach that includes destigmatization.
    • Integrating social and economic considerations into public health strategies is paramount.
    • Destigmatization programs can improve patient outcomes and reduce disease transmission.
