Leprosy Mailing List – June 6, 2024
Ref.: (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy.
From: Roos Geutjes & Josephine Breman-Srivastava
Dear colleagues,
This newsletter contains the WHO published report of the first WHO global meeting on skin-related neglected tropical diseases, which took place last year in Geneva, Switzerland. It also includes a systematic review, by Patikorn et al, (2024) which shows that catastrophic health spending and out-of-pocket costs related to certain NTDs can lead to financial hardship.
Have you marked your calendars yet for the following major upcoming events? The NNN conference is taking place October 1-3, 2024; in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; the 1st edition of the AME organized Conference on Neglected Tropical Diseases is taking place from November 14-16, 2024, in Nairobi, Kenya; and the 22nd International Leprosy Congress is taking place next year from July 5-9, in Bali Indonesia.
Warm regards,
Roos Geutjes & Josephine Breman-Srivastava
