Ref.:  (LML) June update on ILC 2022

 

From:  P. Narasimha Rao, Hyderabad, India

 

Dear Pieter,

 

Greetings from ILC 2022. 

 

I am happy to provide an update on the Congress. The preparations for the congress are going well. The event is about four and half months away and the organising committee is very excited about it. 

 

The response to the congress abstracts has been very good. While we received more than  500 abstracts by 15 May 2022, by the extended last day for submissions we received 1060 abstracts. Of these about half are for possible free paper presentations. All these are in the process of review and finalisation. The abstract mentor programme was well received and with the help of mentor volunteers from the scientific community we could support more than 30 abstract submissions. 

 

The number of registrations for the conference is encouraging  and more than 600 registrations were confirmed till now and we can expect more based on abstract acceptance in the next few months.  

 

We are happy that all the major global leprosy stakeholders including WHO, Sasakawa, ILEP, TLM, LEPRA, Novartis among others, have agreed to take part in the congress. In view of the overwhelming response for oral presentation we are planning to increase the number of physical halls for the conference to facilitate more participation.  

 

The registration portal for the congress is open. We encourage all the LML members to register and participate in ILC 2022. And of course, we are planning  a special LML session as a part of the programme.  

 

I once again take this opportunity to welcome you all to ILC 2022 India. 

 

Best regards,
