Ref.: (LML) ILEP Learning Guides
From: Henk Eggens, Santa Comba Dão, Portugal
Dear Pieter,
I also like to read old books. But guidelines should be as updated as possible.
Below is a list of ILEP publications and the years of their appearances. Most are over ten years old!
I think we should encourage ILEP to start the process of updating their excellent, but somewhat outdated guides.
Not only is this necessary because of the upcoming new WHO MDT regimen that were announced earlier this year. After the official WHO publication of these MDT guidelines, most country programmes will adopt these WHO guidelines sooner or later, I presume. This will have implications for rewriting some of the ILEP guides.
Moreover, it seems to me that, in the recent ten years or so, valuable lessons were learned in many aspects of clinical leprosy, leprosy control and related problems. These new insights also warrant an update of the guidelines.
Best regards,
Henk Eggens
