The Regional Leishmaniasis Control Center (RLCC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity dedicated to controlling and eradicating the neglected endemic leishmaniasis disease from Yemen. It currently has 4 regional centers with its headquarters in Sana'a; the capital city of Yemen.[1][2][3]
RLCC was founded during April 2013 by the Yemeni dermatologist and ISD's member; Dr. Mohamed Ahmed Al-Kamel (MD), in collaboration with the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), International Society of Dermatology (ISD) and International League of Dermatological Societies (ILDS).[4][5][6][7][8][9]
Eradication of Leishmaniasis from Yemen Project (ELYP) is the main project of the RLCC, and Medicine-For-All Program that insures medicine for the poor is its principal program (in partnership with Stiefel/GSK). The Board of Trustees is the principal authority of the foundation, and a widely growing network of volunteers, including physicians, scientists, technicians, health workers, community leaders, and patients support its integrated programs.[10][1][8]
