Abstract
We comment on the transition from a sanitorium and colony into a hospital providing health care, research and training, and treatment with sulfones and subsequently other effective drugs. Also discussed are its role in the elimination of leprosy from Spain, admission to the International Federation of Antileprosy Associations in 1969, and its projects in endemic countries, with the ultimate goal of achieving a world free of leprosy.
