In Japan, 90% of inpatients are housed in leprosaria. As of the end of 1994, the overall number of inpatients hospitarized in leproisaria accounts for 5, 811 in Japan, of whom 5, 767 inpatients are hospitalized in national leprosaria.In recent years, the number of Japanese patients who are newly affected by leprosy in Japan has decreased to within ten. Accordingly, the number of new admission to leprosaria has decreased to as low as zero. The number of readmission, on the other hand, is about 30 a year, and about 15 patients a year return to their social lives. It is estimated that the number of patients hospitalized in leprosaria will decrease to about 4, 000 by the year of 2005, about 2, 000 by the year of 2015, and further to about 700 by the year of 2025, as a result of deaths due to aging of these hospitalized patients.At the end of 1994, patients who were leprosy bacillus-positive in the skin smear test accounted for only 2% in the overall hospitalized patients, and the counterplan for leprosy is almost terminating in the leprosarium. However, about 40% of the patients hospitalized in leprosaria are in fact still on medication, and the-re still remain a number of problems to be solved by us. That is, to deal with anxiety of recurrence, which is the reason for taking medicine, leprous neuralgia, iritis and glaucoma, leprous acute reaction, and intractable leprosy, treatment at leprosaria is not sufficient, and a joint counterplan on a nationwide scale is necessary.In the future, it would be necessary to secure medical welfare for "the decrease and aging of hopitalized patients" at leprosaria.
