African Leprosy Congress

2005-01-31 to 2005-02-03

The International Leprosy Association is planning a regional African Leprosy Congress at Midrand north of Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Congress will bring together leprosy workers and scientists fighting the disease in Africa and from elsewhere. The purpose is to exchange information both scientific and operational, to accelerate progress towards the elimination of the disease and to ensure that the legitimate needs of leprosy-affected persons are met both in humanitarian and rehabilitation terms. The congress is planned to be co-organised by the government of South Africa and co-sponsored by the World Health Organisation [WHO] and the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy Associations [ILEP].

We cordially invite you to participate in the Congress and share your experiences in the fight against leprosy.
