Ref.:  (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy - June '21

 

From:  Anniek Akerboom, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

 

Dear colleagues,

This month is full of interesting online events. On June 8, the WHO and USAID will be co-hosting a webinar on the WHO sustainability framework that complements the new NTD road map and aims to embed sustainability considerations into national health policies. Also, the COR-NTD Secretariat will be co-hosting a series of virtual events, named the COR-NTD Research Links Series. For more information and register links, please scroll down to the section "Interesting events" below the list of new publications.

On 8-9 April, 220 attendees from 33 countries joined the Leprosy Research Initiative (LRI) virtual spring meeting. During this event progress and results of research projects funded by LRI and R2STOP were presented. LRI recently published the LRI Spring meeting report containing recordings of most of the keynote sessions.

Below you will find the list with new publications on leprosy and interesting events, including online courses. Feel free to contact me to receive full-text versions if these cannot be found through the Infolep portal. Also, I would be happy to assist you with literature searches on Infolep.

Warm regards,

Anniek Akerboom
