The Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy (GPZL) launched a video about Ghana's Zero Leprosy Country Review. In November 2020, GPZL worked with the Ghanaian ministry of health to review the National Leprosy Programme and develop a roadmap to zero leprosy for Ghana. Watch the video to see what the Ghana team learned and how they are applying these insights to reach the goal of zero leprosy by 2030. Read more about the Country Model components and how GPZL supports countries here.
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.
