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.

former ILA president
former Brazilian Society of Hansen's Disease president
