Ref.:  (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy - Feb '22 

 

From:  Anniek Akerboom, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

 



Dear colleagues, 

Last month we celebrated World Leprosy Day (WLD) and World NTD Day. All around the globe we have used our collective voice to speak up for 1.7 billion people who are affected by NTDs, including people affected by leprosy. The WLD theme was 'United for Dignity'. Go to the World Leprosy Day page at Infolep to get a glimpse of how we were united during WLD by clicking on the different links.

The World Health Organization has launched the first leprosy training course for health workers on OpenWHO. The online course is free of costs, self-paced and includes the epidemiology of leprosy, suspecting and referring new cases, diagnosis and treatment, leprosy reactions, prevention of disabilities and public health interventions. To find out more and for registration, go to OpenWHO .

Enjoy reading the latest publications on leprosy and have a look at the coming events below. Also, I would be happy to assist you with literature searches on Infolep.

Warm regards,

Anniek Akerboom
