• About e-learning.infoNTD

    This e-learning platform is a joint effort between ILEP’s Lift Leprosy Learning project, InfoNTD and Health(e)Foundation. Our focus is on providing blended (and integrated) learning courses dedicated to Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) and other related diseases, to enhance the skills of healthcare professionals at various levels and individuals with lived experience of NTDs.

    We take pride in offering high-quality, interactive courses developed in collaboration with NTD experts, Ministries of Health (MoH), training institutions and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Our courses are tailored to address specific learning needs, ensuring a comprehensive educational experience.

    E-learning.InfoNTD.org is an easily accessible online learning platform, compatible with desktop and mobile devices, both online and offline. Most courses have a predefined starting date. Combining online training with in-person workshops in an endemic country will enhance the contextualizing of content and trainees to exchange experiences.

    We welcome collaboration with MoH, NGOs, and other organizations interested in sharing or developing e-learning modules. Feel free to reach out to us for potential partnerships via support@e-learning.infontd.org.

    Explore the first module on 'Stigma & Mental Wellbeing,' accessible to all as a preview of the materials we'll be offering. As we grow, we'll expand our course offerings to cover a broader range of topics.
