ReNLeish

National Leishmaniasis Network: ReNLeish

The National Leishmaniasis Network (ReNLeish) was established by the National Reference Centre for Tropical Medicine, as part of the Infectious Diseases Service of the Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid, following its designation as a World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for the Clinical Management of Leishmaniasis. ReNLeish is coordinated by Dr Begoña Monge-Maillo. Moreover, ReNLeish is scientifically endorsed by the Imported Pathology Study Group (GEPI) of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases (SEIMC).

One of the objectives of the collaboration with the WHO is to improve the current data base on leishmaniasis in Spain and to address the existing under-reporting of visceral, cutaneous, and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis cases.

The ReNLeish aims to reach out to the health care professionals who manage leishmaniasis cases in their clinical practice. This development will enable the collection of comprehensive and real-time information on diagnosed cases across the country, to minimise data loss and to ensure enriched clinical records.

In addition to data collection, the ReNLeish also aims to serve as a platform that unites all its members, facilitating the joint development of research projects on leishmaniasis, offering training courses on leishmaniasis management, consulting on complex cases, and conducting public awareness and prevention activities for the general population.

For the ReNLeish, the support of its collaborators is invaluable. Together we can improve the leishmaniasis registry, increase our knowledge of the disease new developments and carry out research projects. Together we can bring visibility to a neglected disease.
