Dear Dr Noto,

Thank you very much for the INFOLEP choice of new publications on leprosy.  Indeed these will be shared to our field medical practitioners for their updates in leprosy.

Also, we do agree with the importance of video presentations for advocacy and leprosy awareness promotions in the communities (see messages of Drs Anrik Engelhard and Annick Mondjo). Especially so when persons affected by leprosy speaks well on how they overcome stigma and how MDT cured them (if possible to show before and after treatment) using their own vernacular.

Best wishes to your work,

Francesca C. Gajete, MD, MHA
