Ref.:  (LML) New publications on leprosy - June 2022

 

From:  Anniek Akerboom, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

 




Dear colleagues, 

In the past month, the National Leprosy Programmes of Côte d'Ivoire, Uganda, and Tanzania have convened partners and held workshops to develop national action plans to achieve zero leprosy. These plans outline specific targets, key activities, and resources needed to achieve no disease, no disability, and no discrimination or stigma in each country. Find more news from GPZL here.

Two major conferences are ahead of us! The 21st International Leprosy Congress (ILC) and the NTD NGO Network (NNN) Conference 2022:


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,

Anniek Akerboom
