Noelia is been recovering from the adverse reactions that leprosy has sometimes, like the inflammation of the faces’ spots. She is one of the youngest patients at the Hospital Dom Rodrigo of Salvador. If the person has no feeling in the spot, he or she should be directed to a treatment center for leprosy to confirm the diagnosis. Media campaigns in Brazil in recent years have attempted to raise awareness of leprosy and its symptoms among the general public in Brazil. MORHAN (the Movement for the Reintegration of people affected by Hansen's Disease), a non-governmental organization with offices in nearly every state of Brazil, organizes educational campaigns in schools and in the media designed to reduce stigma and to increase the potential for patients to diagnosis themselves and seek the appropriate treatment at a health post. MORHAN maintains a telephone line (Telehansen) to which people from all over Brazil can call with questions they have about leprosy. MORHAN has recruited celebrity volunteers, such as actress Solange Couto and singer Ney Matogrosso, and has worked with novela (Brazilian fixed duration soap opera) writer Glória Perez to incorporate the topic of leprosy into an episode of The Clone, a hugely popular novela which aired in 2001-2002.
