Leprosy Mailing List – November 21, 2023
Ref.: (LML) New Publications On Cross-Cutting Issues In NTDs. November, 2023.
From: Roos Geutjes and Josephine Breman-Srivastava, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Dear colleagues,
We have amazing news regarding the work towards the elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases! The World Health Organization announced the elimination of visceral leishmaniasis in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is the first country globally to be validated for the elimination of the disease. Additionally, the Maldives has achieved five consecutive years of zero child leprosy case detection and is the first country to verify the interruption of transmission of leprosy.
If you were not able to attend the NISC webinar "Unlocking Organisational Impact Through the NTD Inclusion Score Card (NISC) - Your Path to Inclusion and Participation" last week; and want to know more about the NISC, please note another webinar will take place on the 27th November, 2023 (10h30 - 12h00 GMT). The webinar will be in French, but simultaneous interpretation to English will be available. Make sure to register ahead of time!
In this Newsletter you can find a selection of recently uploaded Practical Materials, a section on Climate Change and Health, the Newest Publications, and finally a section on Events and News.
Warm regards,
Roos Geutjes and Josephine Breman-Srivastava
