ブラジルだけがWHOが掲げるハンセン病有病率1万人に1人未満という制圧目標を達成していない。また新規患者数はインドに続いて世界で2番目に多く（26,395人／2015年現在）、政府・国際機関、NGOのさまざまな取り組みの強化が必要である。

Brazil is the only country today with a population of over 1 million people that has yet to mark the elimination of leprosy as a public health problem (defined by the WHO as a prevalence rate of less than 1 case per 10,000 people). After India, it reports the second highest number of annual new cases (26,395 cases in 2015) . Despite the efforts of the government, international organizations and NGOs, challenges remain.
