Leprosy Mailing List – October 23, 2013
Ref.: (LML) SW filaments
From: P. Narasimha Rao, New Delhi, India
Dear Dr Pieter Schreuder,
I like to refer to the LML August 25, 2013 from Mr Robert Jerskey and other mails related to SW filaments and my enquiry about SW filaments.
I am extremely grateful to the members of LML and especially to Mr Robert Jerskey, for their responses to my enquiry regarding SW filaments through this forum. Mr Robert, as he promised, handed over a good number of SW filaments to Dr KU Kiran at Brussels during congress. I thank him for his generous gesture of giving them away free of charge. We promise to put them to good use.
In this connection, I would like to inform you about the activities taken up by Indian association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL- the principal association of Dermatologists of India with membership of over 7000), and its Special interest group (SIG) on leprosy in the field of leprosy.
IADVL - Special interest group (SIG) on leprosy, with the support of NGO ‘Codewel Nireekshana–Acet’, Department of Dermatology, Gandhi Medical College had organized a one and half day CME and Workshop, titled 'Update on Leprosy–for PGs to Practitioners' on 14th and 15th September, 2013 in the campus of Gandhi medical college, Hyderabad, India. More than 200 residents and faculty of Dermatology attended it. The emphasis of CME was to inform and update delegates of the present status and newer developments in leprosy. The Workshop was planned in such a way to demonstrate essential clinical and basic laboratory techniques to all delegates apart from showing few advances in management options of leprosy. During the workshop where the use of SW filaments was demonstrated, may delegates were happy to receive filaments to use in their clinics and hospitals. The enthusiasm and participation of the delegates during the CME and Workshop was very heartening.
IADVL and SIG leprosy is planning similar CME and workshops in other part of India to sensitize young Dermatologists and residents of Dermatology to the issues of leprosy.
With best regards,
Dr. P. Narasimha Rao, MD, D.D, PhD
Hon. General Secretary and Member SIG leprosy
IADVL, India.
