From Vision to Action: GPZL Heads to Bali for ILC 2025 and Members’ Assembly Meeting
The Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy (GPZL) is excited to announce its participation at the 2025 International Leprosy Congress (ILC) and the hosting of its Members’ Assembly Meeting, both taking place in Bali, Indonesia. The ILC will run from 7–9 July 2025, followed by the Members’ Assembly on 10–11 July 2025.
This significant week marks a pivotal moment in GPZL’s journey — from setting a bold global vision to translating it into collective, coordinated action. As the global leprosy community convenes to share cutting-edge research, lived experiences, and programmatic breakthroughs, GPZL will be front and center, championing inclusion, innovation, and country-led solutions.
GPZL will deliver four plenary presentations during the ILC, highlighting its mission towards zero leprosy. These sessions will explore emerging insights, progress on national roadmaps, and the power of community voices in accelerating elimination efforts.
In addition, GPZL will host a vibrant interactive exhibition booth throughout the Congress. Visitors will have the opportunity to:
- Explore our growing suite of knowledge products and tools.
- Discover powerful best practices from the field.
- Visit the selfie corner to celebrate moments of connection and solidarity.
The GPZL Members’ Assembly, taking place right after the Congress on 10–11 July, will convene partners and stakeholders for an in-depth reflections and strategic planning. The Assembly will:
- Reflect on collective progress and identify areas for acceleration.
- Brainstorm around implementation challenges and mitigation strategies.
- Assess changes in the global landscape of leprosy and public health.
