The award of the fourth annual NTD Innovation Prize was a highlight during the closing session of the NNN Conference. American Leprosy Missions, in partnership with Novartis, awarded the $40,000 Prize to Jiptha Boirajee of The Leprosy Mission Bangladesh, for a project that will scale up digitally-based care for leprosy complications across 20 districts in Bangladesh. The project will be implemented with ALO, the national organisation of persons affected by leprosy.

This video, produced by ALO, explains in more detail what the project will achieve and why. We congratulate Jiptha, and those who have worked with him, on this well-merited award. https://www.ntd-ngonetwork.org/
