Ref.: (LML) Lack of MDT in Brazil
From: Joel Almeida, London and Mumbai
Dear Pieter and colleagues,
Thanks to Prof. Claudio Salgado for drawing attention to this critical matter (LML, August 18, 2020). Brazilian colleagues are great and include many of the world's top experts. Not just in HD (Hansen's disease) but also in supply chain management. Everyone wishes Brazil well, and with the combined efforts of all the relevant experts and authorities, the issues will no doubt be resolved urgently.
As Novartis' noble donation and maintenance of MDT production continue, aided no doubt by the personal commitment of the great Vas Narasimhan (CEO), the rest of the supply chain will surely catch up. Then no patient will lack MDT.
Otherwise trying to fight HD without MDT is like trying to put out a fire with a hosepipe that lacks water.
Best wishes to our esteemed Brazilian colleagues, and gratitude to Dr. Narasimhan and his colleagues for maintaining production despite COVID-19.
