Leprosy Mailing List – December 13, 2023
Ref.: (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy. December, 2023
From: Roos Geutjes & Josephine Breman-Srivastava, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Dear colleagues,
With holidays just around the corner, we want to wish you and your loved ones happy holidays and a great start to the New Year! We are looking forward to the year of 2024 and are excited to keep bringing you a monthly overview of new publications, case reports, practical materials, and news and events on leprosy.
In November the World Health Organization reported that the network of Buruli ulcer PCR laboratories (BU-LABNET) in the WHO African Region concluded its annual meeting with the strategic decision to transition from BU-LABNET to Skin NTD LABNET (Skin NTD Laboratory Network). This meeting marked a significant step forward in ongoing efforts to improve the diagnosis and management of skin diseases, such as leprosy, and in fostering access to health in endemic regions.
Make sure to check the news section below, as there are some exciting funding opportunities, such as the RESILIENTD grant, which is a collaborative effort between the Leprosy Research Initiative (LRI) and Anesvad Foundation, the focus is on addressing the social determinants of health in the context of skin NTDs, including leprosy, with a focus on Sub-Saharan Africa. There are also more funding opportunities listed below from LRI and the Sasakawa Health Foundation.
Warm regards,
Roos Geutjes & Josephine Breman-Srivastava
