Leprosy Mailing List – April 15, 2020
Ref.: (LML) Guidelines for persons affected by Hansen's disease under COVID-19 crisis
From: Claudio Salgado, Belèm, Brazil
Dear Pieter,
The Brazil Society of Hansen's Disease (SBH) really appreciated Dr. Henk Eggens words and his translation of SBH guidelines for affected people into English, posted here on April 8th. We would like to thank him in name of all our Brazil community of leprosy researchers, doctors and other health professionals, besides, of course, people affected by Hansen's disease. Also, on the same day, we were cited by Wim van Brakel on the release of the guidelines of WHO, ILEP and Zero Leprosy. Thank you.
Now, we would like to present (annexed) the three versions of the guidelines we produced in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Many people asked for translated versions, and also if they could translate to other languages. Yes, sure. Please, feel free to translate to any necessary language to reach as most people as possible. This is the main goal of this work, that people affected by Hansen's disease may recognize their rights even during this pandemic, a time to reinforce human rights.
Our many thanks to Takahiro Nanri, that always stimulated us to prepare the guidelines for patients, and to Alice Cruz, that in fact participated on it. Finally, our gratitude to Jonathan Lloyd-Owen and João Victor Neves Pereira, for their help with English and Spanish languages, respectively.
Best Regards,
Claudio Salgado
