Community of Prata (Pará) has in the same territory the asylum, a hospital that hasn’t work anymore, an school and residences for families. A recent article on Brazzil's website3 included the statistic that 90 million people in Brazil, nearly half the country's population, do not have proper sewage collection and treatment; another 15 million are without garbage pickup services. These factors serve to lower overall immunity in people susceptible to leprosy and thus may increase the chances for people to acquire the disease. Although a drastic improvement in living conditions for the majority of Brazilians would almost certainly result in the elimination of leprosy from Brazil, it is currently more practical to seek other solutions to this problem. Early detection of the disease is the most important factor in halting its spread and preventing disability. Many physicians in Brazil do not recognize leprosy in its early stages.
