The Turing Foundation aims at the elimination of the disfiguring disease leprosy. Leprosy has an incubation period of many years. One of the main challenges in leprosy elimination is to detect the disease in an early stage and to treat it before nerve damages have become irreparable.
This is why the Turing Foundation finances (apart from
recovery programs)
scientific research into the early diagnosis and recovery of leprosy.
All other ways of fighting the disease, such as assistance to (ex)patients, fall without the scope of the objectives of the Turing Foundation.
