The Leprosy Mission's Research Newsletter looks at ENL reactions, leprosy and the link to mental health, treating leprosy ulcers, and a new diagnostic test
Dear friends,
My name is Dr Deanna Hagge, and I am TLM's Senior Research Advisor and the Director of Research and Laboratories at Anandaban Hospital in Nepal.
I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read our first research newsletter. This is a new initiative that we plan to send out to you twice a year.
Through the research newsletter, we hope to keep you up to date on some of the many exciting projects that are happening across the TLM world.
Often this work goes on behind the scenes, but our research is a crucial part of our efforts to achieve zero leprosy. Hopefully, this newsletter will equip you with new knowledge of how we partner with you to defeat leprosy and to further empower you to pray and be champions of a world without leprosy.
In this issue of the newsletter, we have details on our mental health research in Nigeria, our ground-breaking ulcer research in Nepal, updates on our research into diagnostic tests in Bangladesh, and a longer interview between Tim Burton and myself about research into devastating Type 2 Reactions.
I hope it is an enjoyable read for you.
In fellowship,
Dr Deanna Hagge
