The Department of Public Health Mid-West has launched a fundraising campaign to help develop the laboratory facilities at Lalgadh Leprosy Hospital in Nepal.<\/p>\n

The ultimate aim of Lalgadh Leprosy Hospital to become completely self-sustainable in the future. A significant proportion of their care is self-funded through general care, with leprosy care free-of-charge. Developing their laboratory services will help them towards sustainability, as well as improving the range of health care and diagnostics they can supply to the area they serve.<\/p>\n

Public Health Mid-West has formed a committee to oversee the campaign, comprising Public Health doctors, nurses, surveillance, administration, and communications. The department expect to host a number of fundraising initiatives, including participating in this year\u2019s Great Limerick Run.<\/p>\n

Staff nurse Eimear Dwan, who has been working on the pandemic frontline with Public Health Mid-West since 2020, will take part in the Great Limerick Run marathon in aid of this charitable cause.<\/p>\n

All donations are processed through the Nepal Leprosy Trust Ireland charity. Members of the public can donate through iDonate here: www.idonate.ie\/PublicHealthMW<\/a><\/p>\n

The department has had close ties with the hospital, its clinical team, and the community for seven years, a partnership that benefits both partners.<\/em><\/p>\n

The campaign is in conjunction with the ESTHER programme initiative, through which Public Health Mid-West has secured funding to pursue the aims and objectives of the partnership, both this year and in past campaigns.\"HSE<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
