Following the 2-Day SBC Materials and Messages Review & Adaptation Workshop on leprosy-related stigma reduction, RedAid Nigeria, in collaboration with ISCODI, continued the process today with a Stakeholders’ Sensitization Meeting in Enugu State.
This round of engagement moved the conversation from reviewing and adapting IEC/SBC materials to working directly with community stakeholders and leaders whose voices are critical in changing harmful narratives around leprosy.
The meeting focused on the role of leaders as champions of community healing, dignity, inclusion, and zero discrimination for persons affected by leprosy. Through interactive dialogue, participants discussed myths and medical facts about leprosy, the impact of stigma and isolation, and practical ways leaders can promote accurate information, early diagnosis, treatment, acceptance, and inclusion within their communities.
A key highlight was the adoption of the Stakeholders’ Pledge to End Leprosy-Related Stigma and Isolation, reaffirming a collective commitment to replace fear with facts, discrimination with compassion, and isolation with acceptance.
This process reinforces the vision of Zero Leprosy: Zero Transmission, Zero Disability and Zero Discrimination.
Leprosy is curable. Stigma must end.
Together, we will end stigma.
Together, we will uphold dignity.
Together, we will leave no one behind.

To conclude their visit to Nigeria, Dr Anil Fastenau, DAHW Global Health Adviser for Nigeria, and Prof. Epco Hasker of the Institute of Tropical Medicine, Belgium, joined the RedAid Nigeria team on a field assessment linked to developement of the EDCTP-MYCOPEP proposal.

The first stop was the Vaccine Research Centre, University of Nigeria, Enugu, where the delegation was received by the Director, Emeritus Professor Silva Anika, and his team. Discussions boarded on opportunities for institutional collaboration and partnership.

The delegation then proceeded to Mile 4 Hospital, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, where they were welcomed by the hospital management and taken through the Leprosy Centre and TB Laboratory. The visit provided an opportunity to assess existing systems and explore how the facility could contribute to future research and programme implementation.

At the hospital, the team also interacted briefly with medical students from the University of Nigeria who were undertaking a research and learning visit as part of RedAid Nigeria’s institutional support to medical schools, funded by DAHW. The initiative exposes future health professionals to the clinical and programmatic management of leprosy.

We thank Dr Anil and Prof. Hasker for this important visit to Nigeria and for their continued contribution to research, partnership building and efforts to eliminate leprosy and other neglected tropical diseases.

Today, RedAid Nigeria, in collaboration with the Institute of Social Change, Development and Innovation Ltd/GTE, commenced a 2-Day SBC Materials and Messages Review & Adaptation Workshop focused on leprosy-related stigma reduction.

The workshop is bringing together State programme teams, stakeholders, and persons with lived experience to review existing IEC/SBC materials, interrogate harmful myths and misconceptions, and co-create more empathetic, dignity-first messages on leprosy.

Over the two days, participants will examine the root causes of leprosy-related stigma, review current communication materials, test messages for cultural appropriateness, and adapt materials that speak clearly to cure, inclusion, dignity, and early care-seeking.

For us, this process is not just about improving materials. It is about shifting the narrative from fear and exclusion to knowledge, compassion, and acceptance.
Leprosy is curable. Stigma should not stand in the way of diagnosis, treatment, dignity, or community inclusion.

These field visits provide students with practical exposure to the clinical diagnosis, treatment, disability prevention, and programme management of leprosy, helping bridge classroom learning with real-world public health practice.

The initiative, supported by , is equipping future doctors with the knowledge and skills needed to recognize, manage, and contribute to the elimination of leprosy while reducing stigma associated with the disease.

As a proud alumnus of ABSUTH, Dr. Egbule also held an interactive session with the students and faculty, exploring opportunities to deepen collaboration in medical education, research, and leprosy control.

Through partnerships with academic institutions, RedAid Nigeria is helping to prepare a new generation of health professionals committed to ending leprosy and ensuring that no one is left behind.
