(LML) Creating a New Face for Leprosy

Leprosy Mailing List – February 24,  2019
Ref.:  (LML)  Creating a New Face for Leprosy
From:  Umerov Zhaudat, Moscow, Russia


Dear Pieter,

I would like to add a few comments to a note on abandonment of leprosy stigma. The New Face program (LML, January 27, 2019) is a very necessary program to a greater extent for those affected by leprosy as not a word, but an image gives hope for recovery.

Examples of cured persons encourage bolder recourse of contact persons. In addition, it is an indicator of the professional level of doctors and paramedical workers engaged in the treatment of leprosy.

I wish the implementers of the "New Face" programme of the success and support of our colleagues.  

I'm sending our patient's new face into "New Face" program.

 With kind regards,

 Zh. Umerov
