Ref.: (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy, January 2023
From: Roos Geutjes and Marente Mol, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Dear colleagues,
First of all, we would like to wish you all the best for 2023! We are looking forward to a new year full of achievements and successes in our work towards a world without leprosy.
We have exciting developments planned for this year! Infolep is currently in the process of developing a separate search functionality for practical materials on the portal where national programme managers, NGO programme staff, trainers, health institutions and health professionals can easily access practical leprosy resources, such as training materials, guidelines, manuals, online courses, and more. This functionality will be implemented in Q1 2023.
A new Leprosy Review issue is now available!
World Leprosy Day 2023 takes place on the 29th of January!
Reminder! The deadline for Leprosy Research Initiative's calls for proposals is January 27th, 2023 at 23:59 (CET). Do not forget to submit your application timely!
Enjoy reading the latest publications that are listed below. Feel free to contact us to receive the full-text versions when these cannot be found on Infolep. We would also be happy to assist you with literature searches.
