About this video

As a barber, Oladele handles scissors and clippers without any problem, but his bent fingers betray the leprosy with which he was diagnosed 10 years ago. He's now cured, but despite being thought of a medieval disease, about 150-200 new cases are recorded in Benin every year, among 210,000 globally.
