Leprosy Mailing List – December 4, 2015
Ref.: (LML) ILA Congress, Beijing, 2016
From: Marcos Virmond, Bauru, Brazil
Dear Pieter
I wish to thank the letters of Dr. Naafs (LML, Nobember 15, 2015) and Dr. Revankar (LML, November 26, 2015) about the next ILA Congress in Beijing (19th ILC). The points they raise are important ones.
As a matter of fact, leprosy science has changed tremendously in the last decades, incorporating new areas of knowledge and novel technologies. The Scientific Committee is taking these modifications into account in formulating the scientific agenda of the Beijing Congress. An ample array of topics will be addressed during the congress. Although the contribution of basic science must be recognized as essential to the most relevant achievements in leprosy, unsolved questions remains in the daily activities of health workers and in the lives of persons affected by leprosy. Therefore all areas that can contribute to improve stopping transmission, prevent disabilities and promote inclusion will be prominent during the ILA Congress in Beijing.
I take the opportunity to extend my most friendly invitation to all readers of the LML to submit their Abstract (http://ciccst.org.cn/ILC2016/index.html) and to participate in the 19th International Leprosy Congress organized jointly by the International Leprosy Association and the China Leprosy Association.
With kind regards
Marcos Virmond
ILA - President
LML - S Deepak, B Naafs, S Noto and P Schreuder
