How to develop inclusive health service delivery systems that are rooted in community and respond to layered vulnerabilities of people affected by #leprosy and other disabilities? Manivannan Govindarajlu writes. shorturl.at/6xSlh #disability #healthequity

We believe that the best way to spread the Christmas cheer is standing heart to heart and hand in hand! Let us try doing that for all those who we serve, today and forever.

Thank you Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene for supporting us & featuring the work of our researcher on mental health impact of #leprosy disability among women. It's crucial to persist in our efforts to highlight specific needs of people affected by leprosy rb.gy/d7gaf1 #UniteActEliminate

It takes an institution to heal a person affected by leprosy. From counselling to treatment and ensuring mental well-being to rehabilitation, an individual undergoes a complete journey. This holistic approach is the only way to do it rb.gy/u52qps #WorldLeprosyDay

Disability strikes when we let our guards down. Achieving zero disability will require an enabling environment for people to be able to seek & access diagnosis & treatment on time. Can we not develop that mindset and systems? Yes, we can rb.gy/nww2ro #WorldLeprosyDay

If we have to eliminate leprosy, we have to focus on fundamental questions: Are people aware of early signs and symptoms? Are they aware of the risk factors for leprosy? How much do they know about treatment modalities? Experts explain shorturl.at/bRlEo #UniteActEliminate

We are grateful to Office of Chief Commissioner for PwD's for hosting a webinar on breaking myths & eradicating stigma on #WorldLeprosyDay on Jan 26. Nikita highlighted how crucial it is for ending stigma and discrimination if we wish to eliminate the disease itself shorturl.at/UY8MT

Counselling services are important due to the mental health consequences of leprosy but are available in only 1/3rd of endemic countries. Let's train health workers in basic listening skills & enable people with lived experience of leprosy to become peer counsellors #EndStigma

The more we understand a disease, the closer we get to eliminating it. By sharing correct information about #leprosy & examples of individuals cured of the disease, we can dispel fear & stigma. Thank you Trinayani RITIKA SAHNI for this film shorturl.at/ySqsH #EndStigma

From taking pledge to fight leprosy & associated stigma to hosting awareness session and conducting awareness rallies, The Leprosy Mission Trust India units continue to draw people's attention to this disease and the several challenges it brings forth if not detected & diagnosed on time. #EndLeprosy

Thank you Novartis India for supporting socio-economic rehabilitation through skilling. This is a crucial step towards social inclusion. #EndStigma #EndLeprosy

At The Leprosy Mission Trust India women have always been (and will always be) a source of great strength. For generations, we have been blessed with women doctors, surgeons, researchers, and patrons, who have single-mindedly pursued well-being of people affected by #leprosy. #InternationalWomensDay

Making services available to people with disabilities is half the job done; people should be able to access them as well. The Leprosy Mission Trust India conducted a training on accessibility for govt officials, physiotherapists, orthopaedicians & engineers from Public Works Department in #TamilNadu

The World Health Organization (WHO) 2nd Global Meeting on #SkinNTDs is under way! Building on the momentum of 2023 meeting, experts will discuss integration—a key pillar of #2030NTDRoadMap—to strengthen health systems & ensure no one is left behind. Register shorturl.at/1XjPU & join the discussion

When #malnutrition is a risk factor and there is no vaccine as well, how does one end #leprosy transmission. Here, we explain the benefits of introducing nutritional support in the Leprosy Eradication programme shorturl.at/0x6Se

Detecting #leprosy early is crucial for interrupting transmission. With that objective, The Leprosy Mission Trust India hospital Shahdara partnered with Rotary Club of Delhi South to amplify active case detection activity in #Delhi. 63 were screened at a children’s home. Two confirmed to have leprosy.
