Dear colleagues, 

German Leprosy Relief Association (GLRA), one of Infolep's valued partners, launched a new Basic Course in Leprosy in Brazil. It is a free online course in Portuguese for health professionals, persons affected by leprosy and their families. The interactive modules contain short videos, making it a pleasurable learning experience. Learn more and start the course >> 

The National Leprosy Programme of Côte d'Ivoire developed a Zero Leprosy Action Plan to reach leprosy targets by 2030. The plan was developed in partnership with the National Buruli Ulcer Control Programme, the Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy (GPZL), and local, national, and international partners working towards a Côte d'Ivoire free of skin neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) including leprosy. Learn more >>

Save the date! The NTD NGO Network (NNN) is pleased to announce that this year's NNN Annual Conference will take place from Tuesday 13th to Thursday 15th September 2022. The hybrid event will take place in Kathmandu, Nepal, and some elements will be streamed virtually.

The early-bird registration for the 21st International Leprosy Congress (ILC) has been extended until 15 May. Be sure to send in abstracts by 31 May. Learn more and register >>

Enjoy reading the latest publications on leprosy and have a look at the coming events below. Also, I would be happy to assist you with literature searches on Infolep.

Warm regards,
