Dear colleagues,
Exciting news; the NTD Inclusion Score Card (NISC) Tool has been launched through Infolep & InfoNTD. Funded by ILEP, the NISC is a self-assessment tool developed for NTD organizations to track and measure their own performance in terms of inclusion and meaningful participation of persons affected by NTDs in policy and decision-making processes in their own organization.
It assesses performance in 7 domains: Performance in Governance, Programme Management, HR, Financial Resources, Accessibility, External Relations, and Communication. The tool is available in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Hindi.
Please have a look at our updated content page on PEP - post-exposure prophylaxis on Infolep. You will find information and supporting documents on PEP. Let us know if you have any comments or suggestions regarding the content of this page. You can find it by clicking here.
This month's Newsletter contains a section on practical materials, publications on AI-based diagnosis, prevalence of leprosy, disability, and wound care, and more; case reports atypical presentation of leprosy, comorbidity, diagnosis; and a News and Events section.
Enjoy reading the latest publications that are listed below. Feel free to contact us to receive the full-text versions when these cannot be found on Infolep. We would also be happy to assist you with literature searches.
