Fontilles and leprosy in Spain

Charity associations

Friends of Fontilles from Elche.

Fontilles' friends clubs were organised in many Spanish towns. They played a major role in supporting the sanatorium both financially and materially. The National Association of Friends of Fontilles was formed in the early 1980s to fight leprosy. There were still over seventy local associations throughout Spain in 2005.
