Indonesia launches final push to eliminate lymphatic filariasis, leprosy and yaws

The Indonesian Ministry of Health (MoH), World Health Organization (WHO) and key partners are gearing up for a final, concerted push to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF), leprosy and yaws, based on the recommendations of an in-country review conducted on 19–26 August 2024. The review was the first in the WHO South-East Asia Region to simultaneously address the three skin-related neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), which primarily affect communities in remote and hard-to-reach areas.
