All Africa Leprosy and Tuberculosis Rehabilitation Training Centre (ALERT)
Dr Paul Brand, who made his name in the field of reconstructive surgery for leprosy patients, and Dr Stanley Browne, who was concerned with public health, were both instrumental in setting up the All Africa Leprosy and Tuberculosis Rehabilitation Training Centre. Courses are still offered today at the 240-bed teaching hospital.
By 1973 research had become an important activity and remains important to ALERT. Its researchers have investigated dapsone resistance, reactions, reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation of leprosy. ALERT also participated in the studies that provided the evidence base for the multi-drug therapy introduced by the World Health Organization.
