Ref.:  (LML) Request for Leprosy Training

 

 

From:  Francesca Gajete, Manilla, Philippines

 

Dear Pieter,

 

Greetings for a better year this 2023 for your family and all of us !

 

I am sharing this letter request from Dr Ricky Hipolito, a dedicated Dermatologist and Leprosy worker at the Research Institute on Tropical Medicine Philippines.

 

It is very rare that such young dermatologist would come forward showing interest in a field chosen by few.

 

With high hopes of your assistance cognizant of your large network.

 

Best Wishes and Kind Regards to the Family. Take care and Stay safe always.

 

Yours in Leprosy Service,

 

 

Francesca

Dear Dr Gajete,

 

I am Dr Ricky H. Hipolito, a consultant at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine. Since 2012 I have have been seeing Leprosy patients and have actively participated in many Leprosy programs of the Department of Health. Among these programs are the Leprosy E- learning module, in which I am a contributor, trainings for the Department of Health and researches concerning Leprosy diagnosis and management. I also initiated the Leprosy Livelihood Training in RITM.

 

In relation to this, I would like to request for a short training course, preferably sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Leprosy so I can update myself on the current trends on this condition. I hope to gain new skills through courses of 2 to 3 months, which can be scheduled in 2024. This training will enhance the services I provide to RITM Leprosy patients especially the indigents. We are also implementing researches on Leprosy and with this training our research outputs will be enhanced.

 

I am look forward to hearing from you soon.

 

Thank you for considering my request.
