Summary of the project:
This project aimed to establish Centers of Excellence (CoEs) for Leishmaniasis in two programmatically important provinces (Madhesh Province and Karnali Province of Nepal), serving as reference and training hubs for diagnosis, case management of patients and capacity building of health workers as well as institutions. The project mainly concentrated on contributing to the enhancement of competencies of health workers for disease diagnosis, treatment and management. Furthermore, the project sought to build the capacity of institutions, enabling referral centers to offer services that extend to culture and molecular level testing for parasitological confirmation.
