Preparing Mozambique and Nigeria for PEP
NLR is extremely delighted to announce that it received funding to start a project in Mozambique and Nigeria.
The project will incorporate a large number of interventions such as active leprosy case finding of more than 2000 new patients, mapping of leprosy patients to identify patient clusters for targeted interventions, distributing SDR-PEP to more than 30,000 contacts of leprosy patients, and strengthening the national leprosy control programmes through capacity building of nearly 2,000 health workers in both countries. The project will kick start in January 2020 and last a total of three years.
