Ref.: (LML) The Missing Millions: A Threat to the Elimination of Leprosy
From: Charles Mang’ombe, Mazabuka, Zambia
Dear Pieter,
I totally agree with Shen Jianping on sustaining the current Leprosy activities whilst waiting for new tools for Leprosy work (LML April 28, 2015).
However, to continue community awareness without dealing with capacity building on how to manage leprosy in our current Health Staff may not go well. In a number of countries, the hastiness in proclaiming Leprosy elimination by Governments without sustained LECs has led to very poor/reduced index of suspicion for leprosy as in most Health Training Schools Leprosy has fallen off the Syllabus.
Capacity building in Health Workers as well as sustained LECs would do us good.
Charles Mang'ombe, Zambia.
