Ten Steps: A guide for health promotion and empowerment of people affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases was created with the help of a world-renowned group of experts across the disability and NTD communities. Since basic care at the community level is strikingly similar across diseases, this guide facilitates and promotes integrated, cross-cutting approaches to a range of issues including suspecting disease, healthy eating, personal cleanliness, eye care, protective footwear and care of the skin and nails, edema, movement limitations, wounds and scars.
The complete Ten Steps package contains three sets of materials: a training guide, a summary card with key messages and actions, and a manager’s executive summary. Ten Steps: A guide for health promotion and empowerment of people affected by Neglected Tropical Diseases, the Ten Steps Executive Summary and Ten Steps Summary Card are available to download for free at www.leprosy.org/ten-steps.
