Our pilot project in Maros, supported by TLM NL, will begin data collection this June following intensive training. The initiative aims to establish the most comprehensive database of persons affected by leprosy. After repeated training and in collaboration with health center staff and local government, the PerMaTa Maros team is prepared to visit households and update records of individuals from the past 10–15 years, learning about their current situation. All data will be shared responsibly with local government services to strengthen support and planning.
A big thank you to TLM NL — what an exciting endeavor!
