Africa is the area with the highest density of leprosy, but most leprosy people are in India and South-East Asia. According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that there are 4 million leprosy patients in India, and the actual number may be 10 million. These patients are partially controlled by various health departments through mobile clinics. All anti-leprosy medicines are provided free of charge by the World Health Organization or the Sasakawa Foundation. The Asian Rescue Association (JALMA) is an organization founded in 1962 in Agra, aided by Japanese citizens. It is a leprosy clinic with hospital treatment equipment, and medical teams are also dispatched from mobile clinics. Currently JALMA is administered by the Indian government.
