Dear colleagues, 

Infolep is keen to receive feedback from you! You can now take part in our short survey
"How can we best serve your information needs?". Your input is essential for us to be of excellent service to you, so please click here to take part.

The WHO Department of Control of NTDs has put out a 
call for consultation on the draft strategic framework for the integrated control of skin NTDs to support endemic countries to address these diseases. Please click here to provide your feedback until October 15th.

The Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy and the National Leprosy Programme of Côte d'Ivoire reviewed the country's leprosy activities and created a national Zero Leprosy Roadmap. In the video
"The Path to Zero Leprosy in Côte d'Ivoire" Dr. Roch Christian Johnson shares the results of the country review and road-mapping process and explains the next steps for leprosy control in Côte d'Ivoire. Click here to watch the video.

Below you will find the list of 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
