Part 2, the Tutor’s Guide, outlines the main learning points and provides guidance on the learning process for those responsible for conducting training programmes. This document is part of a series on several topics related to lymphatic filariasis that will be produced by the World Health Organization to assist national elimination programmes on the different aspects of the disease.
