Valuable training for our whole team!
Valuable training for our whole team!
Our biennial full team meeting!
In mid-August we gathered at the Novotel in Nadi for two solid days of training and discussion. This is a wonderful opportunity to ensure that the whole team understands our aims, and how to achieve them. The theme of this year’s meeting was “Zero leprosy in children by 2030” which is the World Health Organisation and our target. The reasoning behind this is that no leprosy in children, means reduced transmission of leprosy in the community, and this is a vital stage in the total elimination of leprosy.
The training sessions included tuition about leprosy reactions and drug resistance, stigma and discrimination, educating patients about leprosy when they are diagnosed, the role of public health’s in leprosy prevention and many more subjects.
It was an exhausting, but also exhilarating two days and I am certain that everyone left the meeting armed with new knowledge and new incentive to achieve this goal.
