Ref.:  (LML) Infolep monthly overview of new publications on leprosy, November 7, 2023.

From:  Roos Geutjes & Josephine Breman-Srivastava, Amsterdam, the Netherlands


 



Dear colleagues, 

An amazing achievement in the journey towards the elimination of leprosy by the year 2030 has been made:
The Republic of Maldives was celebrated by the World Health Organization for achieving five consecutive years of zero child Leprosy case detection and interruption of transmission! Central to the success of the Zero Leprosy program has been the training and capacity-building of healthcare professionals. 

In the past Newsletter editions, we shared the launch of the
NTD Inclusion Score Card (NISC). If you want to learn more about it; please join the exclusive NISC webinar "Unlocking Organisational Impact Through the NTD Inclusion Score Card (NISC) - Your Path to Inclusion and Participation" on the 13th of November; 13:30 - 15:00 GMT +1. Please click here to secure your spot! Additionally, there is a facilitator available free of cost between now and the end of December 2023, who can support you and your organization with the assessment. If interested, please reach out to Bernice Ejiogu (b.ejiogu@nlrinternational.org). 

We want to show appreciation to
Fontilles for the publication of the Revista de Leprología, which came to an end this year after 78 years of publishing scientific work and international knowledge on leprosy in the Spanish language.

Warm regards,

Roos Geutjes & Josephine Breman-Srivastava

Revista de Leprologia - Fontilles



On July 1, 1944, Fontilles published the first issue of the medical journal Revista de Leprología with the aim of publishing the sanatorium of Fontilles's scientific work and the most relevant international knowledge on leprosy. Over the years, it became an important reference, in the Spanish-speaking world for consultation and training on leprosy. This has been the work of Revista de Leprología during the last 78 years and with our issue 33(4) July-December 2022 the journal has come to an end.

Fontilles wishes to thank all the scientific organizations and individuals who have contributed with their publications and advice, with a special mention to the Editorial Board during all these years who have been fundamental for the success of the publication.
