Note: The term “leprosy sanatorium” is used in a general sense to comprehensively refer to old leprosy colonies, sanatoriums, sanatoriums, isolation wards, and other facilities used for the treatment and confinement of leprosy patients. Selecting a name from the list allows you to view details about that sanatorium (history of name changes, recorded period of operation, visitor information, archive locations, etc.). Note: When the exact name of a Hansen's disease sanatorium is unknown, it is listed using the name of the nearest town.
