Leprosy

LEARNS was the Philippines’ first mobile phone-based leprosy detection system.

The Foundation is working with partners to use the world’s latest technologies to speed-up elimination of one of the oldest diseases.

LPEP showed how providing preventative treatment to close contacts of newly diagnosed patients can help accelerate leprosy elimination.

For the past decade, our efforts centered on urban cardiovascular health, leprosy and malaria elimination, and digital health.
