Dear colleagues,
Exciting new feature on our platform! While navigating through the information portal you may have noticed a new section where you can search for and which contains practical materials on leprosy and cross-cutting issues. We want to makes practical materials more easily accessible and facilitate cross-learning within the leprosy and NTD sector. We invite you to have a look and appreciate any feedback that you may have. If you have any practical materials; such as guides, videos, online courses, podcasts, and toolkits that you would like to add to the database - please send us an email! Your contribution is welcome!
We have also added Artificial Intelligence / Deep-learning as a new topic to our subject filter to make finding publications related to leprosy and artificial intelligence easier!
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.
Warm regards,
Roos Geutjes & Josephine Breman-Srivastava
