Presentation on the Global Program to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis and why we need direct-to-user resources on lymphoedema self-care. CPHMVS Faculty Seminar 20 Oct 2023 Dr Jan Douglass and Prof Patricia Graves

Kingsley was a major donor to Jan's PhD Research Project among children infected with lymphatic filariasis in Myanmar, and has continued to support her in bringing essential self-care information to people affected by lymphedema in low-and-middle-income countries.

We are developing demonstration videos on lymphatic self-care for people affected by filariasis- and podoconiosis-related lymphoedema. Abraham is the first of the characters we will introduce to you over the early part of 2023. Please help us to reach as many people as possible by sharing this video and donating to our fundraising campaign https://www.lknfoundation.org.au/donate

Jan Douglass was asked three questions 1. What interventions are Essential for self-care and managing lymphedema at the community and Primary Health Care Level? 2. In your experience, why is lymphoedema self-care not practiced? 3. What is your experience with using virtual training in LF-related lymphedema management and self-care?
