ILEP’S MEMBER ASSOCIATIONS ARE WORKING
TOGETHER FOR A WORLD FREE FROM LEPROSY

The NLEP/ILEP consultants are employed by the ILEP agencies and placed in states requiring prioritized attention for achieving the mandate of NLEP. They make visits to district facilities, rural health facilities, tertiary health facilities and leprosy colonies. They conduct trainings including self-care, self-help groups, technical training for doctors/ medical officers and general health care (GHC) staff. They also conduct various meetings with State Leprosy Officers (SLOs), District Leprosy Officers (DLOs), and other state/ district level health authorities. The severe waves of COVID did not deter them in executing their roles; rather they kept on providing the required support to the SLOs, DLOs and at sub-district levels remotely and physically (when possible) ensuring the leprosy programme kept on reaching to the people affected by leprosy with the essential services for leprosy, other health and survival needs.
