Ref.:  (LML) Demise of Dr SK Noordeen

 

From:  Marcos Virmond, Bauru, Brazil

 

 

Dear Pieter and colleagues,

 

We are very sad to hear about the departure of Dr. S. K. Noordeen. 

 

He was a notable name in the fight against leprosy on a worldwide basis and his leading efforts in the strategy of elimination of leprosy as a public health problem will remain as a landmark in the history of leprosy. In addition, he was able to maintain a high level of political commitment on leprosy within the WHO milieu.
