How do we shift the dial on some of leprosy’s biggest and most stubborn problems?

To achieve a world without leprosy, there are seemingly intractable problems that we must seek to overcome: how do we achieve zero transmission of leprosy? How do we provide adequate disability services for people with complex needs or in remote areas? How do we overcome a lack of funding to produce new treatments for ENL?

Last year, The Leprosy Mission (TLM) interviewed Dr. Arie de Kruijff, their first Global Lead on Innovation, about his vision for advancing innovation. In this follow-up, Dr. de Kruijff discusses how creating supportive cultures and systems can help tackle some of leprosy’s most persistent challenges, paving the way for meaningful progress.
