New programmes or services
We will scale up and share with other key stakeholders our existing innovations to encourage their replication and we will strive to develop new and outstanding interventions to meet the needs of people affected and disabled by leprosy or lymphatic filariasis. We will translate the learning we gain into other areas of our work to accelerate the development of powerful interventions.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
We will scale up our work on the development of new assistive devices and protective footwear for people affected by leprosy and lymphatic filariasis. We will build upon our pilot project in Bihar that aims to facilitate hydrocele surgeries for men affected by lymphatic filariasis and scale it up to men affected in India and beyond. We will integrate mental health interventions in all of our programmes to respond to these specific needs that concern 1 in 2 people affected by leprosy and lymphatic filariasis.
