In December, the Leprosy Review produced an issue dedicated to self-care. Within this issue were new self-care guidelines. These guidelines aim to improve the uptake of self-care amongst people with leprosy ulcers.
The Leprosy Mission Trust India are taking these guidelines one step further by working alongside persons affected by leprosy to learn how these guidelines will work best within their lives and their communities.
They will work with patients on co-developing a version of the guidelines that will be specific to the communities they are working with.
In this video, Dr Joydeepa Darlong of The Leprosy Mission Trust India talks about how their project will work, what it hopes to achieve, and what co-production of these resources will look like.
