Leprosy Mailing List – July 20th, 2012
Ref.: The so called "elimination" strategy; opinions and questions.
From: Adallah S O, Kisumu, Western Province, Kenya
Dear Salvatore,
Thank you for putting me on the leprosy mailing list. Thank you very much also to Drs Mondjo and Vijayakrishnan for their comments.
According to the W.H.O. criteria, Kenya eliminated leprosy as a public health problem in 1989. As a result of that, we have had no funds for the now so called "post leprosy elimination control activities". Since 1989, we have continued to get new cases of leprosy and my dream to make Kenya a country without leprosy before I retire, will not be realised. Thanks to lack funds!
Best regards,
Sylvester
