Noma's Dark Shadow Casts Doubt on Global Health Priorities The devastating effects of noma, a neglected tropical disease that ravages the faces of vulnerable children in Africa, have finally been brought to light by humanitarian organizations like Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
The news is not new, but it serves as a stark reminder of the global health community's failure to address this scourge.
In Nigeria's Sokoto state, MSF has been carrying out free multi stage operations for noma patients, offering hope to families who thought they had no solution.
