What we plan to do

  • Currently, there is a gap in post-elimination surveillance. NCHRD will be involved in post-elimination surveillance. Where there is disease recrudescence, NCHRD will be involved. NCHRD will focus on morbidity management in highly endemic areas.
  • Empower communities in Lymphodema management.
  • Environmental management.
