🌍 Big news! The world’s first leprosy-specific vaccine, LepVax, is heading to Phase 1b trials in Brazil. Developed with support from global partners, this vaccine could revolutionise leprosy prevention and treatment, aiming to stop transmission and reduce disabilities.

Care is the backbone of life. Yet, women provide most of the unpaid and under-paid care work. On #DayOfCare, let us balance the scales by ✅Making unpaid care work a shared responsibility ✅Ensuring paid care jobs are decent jobs Learn how: unwo.men/zOb850TTIhH

Like in 2021, Leprosy in Nigeria is still a neglected health issue. Since November 2023 MDT supply has been delayed putting in risk the life and wellbeing of persons affected. This needs to change! @linusunah @WHO @NGRPresident @ILEPAntiLeprosy devex.com/news/leprosy-l…

Persons affected by leprosy remain largely hidden due to #stigma and experience #discrimination. #MentalHealth stakeholders should ensure their #Inclusion in community based mental health services @Leprosymissint @Beamirgal @mathiasduck @SasakawaYohei @ZeroLeprosy @NLR_NoLeprosy

Anxiety and depression are sadly common among people affected by leprosy. Self-help groups are a powerful way for people to move forward, as they encourage each other, and get counselling to improve their mental health.

It is unacceptable that in many countries, individuals still have to rely on the 'good will' of governments to receive treatment and post-treatment follow-up. It is not a matter of charity—IT IS THEIR RIGHT." #RightToHealth #RightToLeprosyCare ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

The movement of persons affected by leprosy/Hansen’s disease must demand their right to access medication and quality medical services. The health of persons affected by leprosy is not a matter of charity—IT IS THEIR RIGHT." #RightToHealth #RightToLeprosyCare
