Leprosy Mailing List – February 25, 2022
Ref.: (LML) InfoNTD Monthly Overview Of The Latest Cross-Cutting NTD Publications - January, 2022
From: Roos Geutjes, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Dear colleagues,
This week is an exciting week! On the 30th of January, both World NTD Day and World Leprosy Day will take place. Lots of events are happening to celebrate the successes that have been made so far, and to raise awareness on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).
For World NTD Day, Sightsavers is calling on the global community to work together to beat NTDs. They are building a social wall where you can see why people worldwide are committed to the cause. To add your voice to their social media wall, please have a look at their website where you will also find a social media toolkit. Will you #PlayYourPart?
Check out the website of The Global Partnership on Zero Leprosy (GPZL) to find more information on World Leprosy Day (WLD), including a social media toolkit and events around WLD. Click here to find the video "World Leprosy Day 2022: United for Dignity" in which the GPZL has asked people who have experienced leprosy: What does dignity mean to you?
Please scroll down for a complete overview of all upcoming events, webinars and conferences.
Enjoy reading the selection of the latest NTD publications that are listed below. Feel free to contact us to receive the full-text versions if these cannot be found through the InfoNTD portal. We will also gladly support you with literature searches.
Warm regards,
Roos Geutjes
