On 19th July The Mainichi Daily News reported that a table used for autopsies on leprosy patients at the Oshimasishoen National Sanatorium had been lifted from the Japanese Inland Sea in early July 2010. Approximately twenty-five years ago, when the autopsy room was being demolished to make way for a new recovery wing, it had been thrown into the sea. This table is to be displayed at an art festival until the end of October 2010.

With just under three months to go to the high level plenary review of the MDGs during the 65th General Assembly of the UN, on 20th – 22nd September 2010, The Leprosy Mission England, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man (TLM) is one of many NGOs that has been intensifying its lobbying to urge parliamentarians in the UK to keep to the promises they made at the start of the new millennium. Without reinvigorating efforts globally, and without including people affected by disability, it is already clear that the world will fail to meet many of the MDGs, which are the most significant goals ever set to reduce global poverty and inequality.
