Mulikat Okanlawon from Nigeria survived #noma—a devastating disease that destroys facial tissue and bone, killing up to 90% of those untreated. Even though she didn’t receive timely care, Mulikat survived and rebuilt her life after surgery.
At #RC75 today, I presented the Regional Framework for Accelerating the Global Oral Health Action Plan to Member States.
With @WHO and #partners, we’re training health workers to detect and treat noma and other oral health conditions that affect 42% of our region’s population.
This framework offers a bold path forward: transforming oral health, implementing global goals, and strengthening systems to ensure no one suffers in silence.
The time for action is now!

Collaboration and determination are the only ways to create sustainable solutions for global health. Listen more. Build trust. 'Think deeply about what you can do to make a difference for others.'

In late 2023, the @WHO officially added #noma to the list of neglected tropical diseases. The @SwissTPH and @UniBasel_en both played a key role in this. That decision could open new doors for funding research programs to understand the disease better.

ALT Image credit: Claire Jeantet - Fabrice Caterini / Inediz Caption: Aliyu, a 27-year-old noma survivor, stands next to his home, in a village in Sokoto State, Nigeria. Aliyu says he usually covers his face with a veil to protect his wound from the sun or dust when he takes care of his cattle, but also due to shyness and discrimination he has experienced in the past.
What a journey! We met Sakina and her mum 7 years ago in Nigeria and Hauwa insisted that we should share the story of her daughter with the world so no child has to endure the dramatic consequences of #noma. Today, we are one step closer to achieving #ZeroNoma
.@WHO officially recognizes #noma as a neglected tropical disease.
Noma is more than a disease, it is a social marker of extreme poverty and malnutrition, affecting the most vulnerable populations: who.int/news/item/15-12-2023…

Kamran Rafiq @ISNTD_Press was an incredibly dedicated and passionate advocate for NTDs, we will miss him dearly. His dedication to #beatNTDs will continue to shape the landscape of NTD research and advocacy.
Honoured to be part of this special tribute. speakingofmedicine.plos.org/…
🤝 Partnerships are the key, thank you @martaribesa and @FidelStrub for inspiring others to do more and get noma out of the neglect!
Súper feliz de haber reunido a 50 personas para hablar del #noma.
