It's brilliant when a panel discussion is more of a brainstorming session on how to accelerate innovations, overcome challenges and enhance impact of ICS to control and manage #Leprosy and other #NTDs #NNN2023 #NTDS

We at TLM India, are really excited to work with CLD, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and WHO, on a project where my heart is... documenting good practices across India, that can be replicated not just at the National level but Global too.

Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by bacteria, called Mycobacterium Leprae. The diagnosis and treatment for Leprosy are freely available in all govt health facilities. "Let's Fight Leprosy and Make Leprosy a History". Our goal is Leprosy Free India.

Leprosy is a disease,completely curable with antibiotics(MDT).The duration of treatment is six months for PB and 12 months for MB cases.Early diagnosis and treatment helps patients to avoid disability. It doesn't spread easily and treatment is very effective. "Leprosy Free India"

Leprosy still remains a major stigmatizing condition.Leprosy is still perceived to be feared and concealed because of potential discrimination mainly caused by G2D disabilities. Let's eliminate leprosy-related discrimination & stigma to end leprosy for Leprosy Free India by 2027.

If your brain isn't healthy, neither are you. Unfortunately, most people ignore brain health until it's too late—when memory fades, focus disappears, and dementia sets in. So, here's how to protect and optimize your brain (for life): 🧵

It's pouring in Delhi & there are terrible traffic jams all over. Expected! What isn't expected is for people not letting the ambulances pass. A grid is formed by uncivilized people who want to move, worsening the grid. The ambulances are stuck. Sirens wailing away. Delhi Traffic Police
