[leish-l] Training on Visceral Leishmaniasis to Medical Offic ers

[Davidson, Robert N]

Dear Raj Kumar Pokharel,

I am working on a kala zar resource CD-rom for use by Medecins Sans
Frontieres teams in Sudan/Ethiopia. It contains our treatment manual,
slides, the WHO VL control manual and slides, monographs on drugs, training
packages for medical assistants, nurses, lab techs, etc, and key published
references - but all intended for the east African region.  
This may be of some value to you, as you could adapt it to suit your
situation.
If you wish I can send you a copy of the CD-Rom when it is ready in a few
weeks time.

A useful resource is the Wellcome Trust's interactive CD-Rom on
leishmaniasis, which you can order from

Officers


Dear sirs,
With the help of USAID/EHP and CECI/Canada, we are preparing a training
package on Visceral Leishmaniasis (Kala-azar). At present, there is no any
training curriculum (Learner's guide/Tutor's Guide) in Nepal. As you might
be aware that Visceral Leishmaniasis (Kala-azar) and Post Kala-azar Dermal
Leishmaniasis is becoming a major public health problem and public panic in
the eastern region of Nepal (14 districts). Therefore, your help in the
following area will make the training program successful and qualitative.
Please send details about following through mail/express delivery:
1. Epidemiology of VL
2.  Rationale and techniques of VL Control
3. Epidemic preparedness and control
4. Survellance and Monitoring/ Follow-up/Referral
5. Life cycle, morphology, anatomy and physiology/entomological studies of
vectors
6. Life cycle and morphology

Your,s sincerely,
Raj Kumar Pokharel
