Ref.:  (LML) New publications on cross-cuttingissues in NTDs. March, 2022

 

From:  Roos Geutjes, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

 

Dear colleagues, 

As part of their work, Anesvad, one of InfoNTD's valued partners, is considering to launch a Call for Proposals (CfP) to support projects from Civil Society Organizations (CSO/NGO) directly or indirectly related to NTDs (including not only medical aspects, but also WASH, disability, education, CSO strengthening, advocacy, community awareness, livelihood, etc.).
 
Before launching it, they are assessing the context in 8 African countries (Ghana, Benin, Togo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Liberia, Nigeria and Congo) in order to make sure that such a CfP is fully feasible and relevant. That is why they kindly request you to help them understand the needs, priorities, interest and capacities of local CSOs/NGOs by answering the few questions included in the questionnaire that can be found by clicking on the link below:
 
Survey: Anesvad Call for Proposals on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) in Africa
(Please select the English or French version on the top right bottom of the first page of the questionnaire).

Thank you for providing your input! 

Enjoy reading the selection of the latest NTD publications that are listed below. We offer free full text delivery services. Feel free to contact us to receive the full-text versions if these cannot be found through the InfoNTD portal. We will also gladly support you with literature searches. 


Warm regards,
Roos Geutjes

From:  Joseph Kawuma, Kampala, Uganda

 

 

Dear Pieter and colleagues,

 

I am proud to be one of the students of Dr. Felton Ross. Others have already mentioned the memories of his passion for training and encouraging young colleagues (as I was when I first met him nearly 40 years ago). He taught us leprosy and how to teach others leprosy.

 

May his soul gain the well-deserved rest in appreciation of all that he did for the persons affected by leprosy worldwide.

 

H Joseph Kawuma,

Leprosy Mailing List – March 18,  2022

 

Ref.:  (LML) In Memoriam Dr. William Felton Ross

From:  Joel Almeida, London and Mumbai

 

Dear Pieter & colleagues,

 

Dr. Felton Ross took a personal interest in empowering the younger generation of researchers & leprologists in endemic countries. This included arranging scholarships for some to pursue higher studies, supporting their participation in meetings of influential leprologists held far from endemic countries, even successfully proposing some to be included in global "Who's Who Under 30" on the basis of their work to fight HD and care for persons experiencing its adverse impacts. 

 

At a time when decisions about endemic countries were made far from the frontlines, he set a good example of faith in the younger generation at the frontlines. His great faith in the potential of the younger generation in endemic countries has been played out in ongoing contributions by many individuals who continue to make a difference today.

 

R.I.P., great soul, mentor & exemplar. He lives on in the efforts of those he mentored.

 

Joel Almeida

Leprosy Mailing List – March 17,  2022

 

Ref.:  (LML) In Memoriam Dr. William Felton Ross

 

From:  Linda Lehman, Rio Rancho, USA

 

 

Dear Pieter,

 

Dr. Ben Naafs has shared so well the special person that Dr. Felton Ross was to many.  I too remember his patient mentorship as we saw patients together in Brazil and other countries.  He was persistent that physical exams included nerve examination that not only included palpation but quantitative sensory and motor function at all health levels, not just reference centers.

He promoted Judy Bell-Krotoski's work in using Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament sensory testing and work in monitoring early change that influenced the development and adoption of S-W monofilament field kits from SORRI-Bauru which today has been an integral part of leprosy control programs in Brazil.

He also was concerned that health workers saw the whole person, not only their health but their socio/economic, emotional and spiritual situation.  I recall he taught me and others through "hands on example" and good reflective questions.  He encouraged not only individuals but teams and was an example of promoting collaboration between health workers, institutions, NGOs, Churches, Government programs and communities. 

I recall his special admiration Felton and his wife Una had for Sister Sinkenesh's community work involving person's affected by Hansen's disease which was located near ALERT in Ethiopia.  He valued the contributions of women, mercy and justice.

One verse that reminded me of Felton Ross is from Colossians 3:12. "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.  This is Dr. Felton Ross.

 

As Ben said, "a great man is gone".  I will miss him.

From:  Ben Naafs, Munnekeburen, the Netherlands

 

 

Dear Pieter,

 

 

It was in 1973 that Dick Leiker recruited me to help to restart leprosy research in Alupe Kenya. However, having only seen a few patients in the Netherlands he sent me to ALERT in Ethiopia to be trained in Leprosy. There I was welcomed by Felton Ross. He showed me the real impact of leprosy on patients and society, and how to examine the patients with a special emphasis on their nerves. He taught me how to teach and encouraged me to do research.

He was a special person, very warm-hearted and interested in the person, irrespective of any race, sex or belief, though he had strong convictions himself in the latter aspect. He was the one who kept me at ALERT and in a way gave direction to my life. When we had left ALERT, I met him regularly and many who have been influenced by him. With his passing away a great man has gone.  

 

Ben

Fw: Ref.: (LML) Strenghtening the Tanzania leprosy programme

Leprosy Mailing List – March 16,  2022

 

Ref.:  (LML) Strenghtening the Tanzania leprosy programme

From:  Henk Eggens, Santa Comba Dão, Portugal

 

 

Dear Pieter,

In a follow-up to the LML discussion about the state of affairs in Tanzania I would like to contribute mentioning the following events that took place late 2021 in Tanzania. By the way, it brings back memories when I was a small part of the exceptionally well-run leprosy control programme in Tanzania in the eighties and nineties.

I quote the Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy  website: https://zeroleprosy.org/tanzanias-zero-leprosy-country-review/

"The National Leprosy Programme of Tanzania conducted a review of leprosy activities in partnership with the Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy (GPZL) in late November."

 

 "The reviewers and partners developed a high-level roadmap to zero leprosy for Tanzania. This national Zero Leprosy Roadmap aligns with the WHO Road Map for Neglected Tropical Diseases 2021 – 2030 and outlines strategies to achieve goals leading up to 2030. The roadmap will be presented to the Ministry of Health for approval and adoption. GPZL is excited to continue this important work toward ending leprosy in Tanzania alongside the country's National Leprosy Programme."

Publication of this roadmap and taking action along that strategy with partners could be an important step forward to raising awareness about the leprosy situation in Tanzania. More importantly, it could lead to an enhanced quality of care for the existing and newly diagnosed leprosy patients in Tanzania.

Best,

Henk Eggens

From:  Marcos Virmond, Bauru, Brazilo

 

Dear Pieter,

 

Just to mention the passing of Dr. William Felton Ross, aged 95, a legendary name in the field of leprosy. Dr. Ross served as treasurer of the International Leprosy Association  (ILA), and also devoted many years of service as executive officer of the International Journal of Leprosy, the scientific voice of ILA.

Editor LML: from the Goshen News, Indiana, USA, we copied the following:

 

In Memoriam Goshen News, Indiana, March 11, 2022:

William Felton Ross, 94, husband of Una, died on March 3, 2022, in hospice care at his daughter's home in Goshen, Indiana.

A memorial will be held at Waterford Mennonite Church on March 17, 2022, at 3:00 p.m. in Goshen. An online link to the service can be found at https://waterfordchurch.org/streaming/

Felton was born on May 9, 1927, in Leominster, England to Susannah (Hinton) and Aubrey Ross. Following two years of service in the Royal Army Service Corps (RASC)-Colchester and time working the family's farm, he gained a medical degree (MB.B.S.) from The London Hospital Medical College in 1954.

Felton's career as a Leprologist took him to Nigeria, India and Ethiopia. He was the founding Director of Training for the All-Africa Leprosy Education and Rehabilitation Training Center (ALERT) in Addis Ababa prior to then emigrating to New Jersey as the Medical Director of American Leprosy Missions for which he traveled extensively across the globe to evaluate and promote Hansen's Disease-related projects.

He relocated with ALM to South Carolina.

After his retirement, he remained active in mission governance, as well as in prison visitation and the Stephen Ministry with Fellowship Greenville.

Felton is survived by his wife of 62 years, Una (Dickinson) of Goshen,.

 

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial gifts can be made to American Leprosy Missions at http://leprosy.org/donate

Leprosy Mailing List – March 14,  2022

 

Ref.:  (LML) Clinical cooperation in Morogoro District, Tanzania

 

From:  Robert Machang'u, Ifakara, Tanzania

 

 

Dear Pieter,

 

I noted the comment by Ben Naafs (LML, March 11, 2022). He is quite right. In addition to my response to Dr. Theuvenet, leprosy is a hidden problem in Morogoro Region and in particular Kilombero district. The latest reports by the Ministry of Health show a prevalence of 4.8/10,000 in Kilombero, which "could be" highest in Tanzania.

 

Awareness is indeed lacking in most parts of the country. Many people sincerely believe that Hansen's disease is history, until they, like me, are confronted with live clinical cases.  I am trying to initiate an awareness campaign , starting with the hot spots in this district in collaboration with the Nazareth Leprosy Centre in Ifakara, and if I get funding I will surely initiate research (early case finding, PEP, diagnosis and response to treatment).

 

Regards,

 

Robert

Ref.:  (LML)  Clinical cooperation in Morogoro District, Tanzania

 

From:  Robert Machang'u, Ifakara, Tanzania

 

 

Dear Pieter, 

 

Thanks to Dr. Theunevet for his LML letter of March 9, 2022. 

 

I am Prof. Robert Machang'u from St. Francis University of Health and Allied Sciences in Ifakara Tanzania.  I am collaborating closely with the Nazareth Leprosy Centre, Ifakara. It is correct that recently I sounded a call/need for collaboration in research with specialists worldwide inthis sadly forgotten area of NTDs. The Nazareth Centre has a lot of needs for sure. I just consulted with the Centre to come up with specific areas of need in clinical leprosy and I am waiting to hear from them. 

 

In any event it would be a great opportunity if Dr. Theuvenet during his next visit to Tanzania could spare a day to visit Ifakara-Kilombero District and specifically the Nazareth Leprosy Centre. Since January 2022, I have witnessed 4 new cases of lepromatous leprosy, one which was quite advanced.  

 

Once again, I would like to thank Dr. Theuvenet very much for his interest. 

 

 

Robert S. Machang'u

From:  Anniek Akerboom, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

 

 

Dear colleagues, 

Save the date! On Thursday 7 and Friday 8 April 2022 (CET 13.30-17.00) the Leprosy Research Initiative is organising its annual Spring Meeting. The virtual event provides an opportunity to keep up-to-date with leprosy research projects and network with researchers around the globe. More information about the programme and the registration procedure will follow soon at the LRI website.

This year, the 21st International Leprosy Congress (ICL) will take place from 8 to 11 November as a hybrid conference. Go to the ILC website to find more information about the dates and times, the programme and the venue in Hyderabad. Be sure to send in abstracts before 31 May, and to complete the early-bird registration by 30 April.

The UN Special Rapporteur, Alice Cruz, has released her second newsletter. She summarises her presentation to the UN General Assembly on the urgent need to end shameful leprosy-related discrimination in law, presents highlights of her involvement in the 'Don't forget leprosy' campaign, and much more >>.

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
