Leprosy Mailing List – August 6, 2021
Ref.: (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy - Aug '21
From: Anniek Akerboom, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Dear colleagues,
Last month, the Special Rapporteur on the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by leprosy and their family members, Alice Cruz, presented her report on the disproportionate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on persons affected by leprosy to the Human Rights Council. This fact sheet summarizes the report's key points.
The Infolep monthly overview now has a google translate feature. You can translate this newsletter by clicking on the top right button "Translate email". The newsletter will then open in your browser, where you can click on the drop-down menu "Translate" on the top right of your screen and choose your preferred language.
Below you will find the list with new publications on leprosy and interesting events. 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
