One in Every 100 Has Leprosy in Korea
South Korea faces rising leprosy rates with estimates ranging from 45,000 to over 200,000 cases. About 23,000 lepers reside in 13 facilities, while others live in colonies or roam countryside begging. In 1950s, government diverted over half public health budget to leprosy, amid brutal prejudice and violence including a 1955 island attack killing 25 lepers. Police log shows annual arrests of lepers for grave desecration searches seeking kidneys, a superstition-linked practice.
