🗓️ Ne manquez pas le webinaire du Réseau MTN Francophone : Le Noma, "nouvelle" maladie tropicale négligée 📅 Mardi 23 septembre 2025 ⏰ 13h00 - 14h00 CEST 👉 Inscription via QR code sur le visuel #SantéGlobale #MTN #Noma

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! afro.who.int/news/african-he… Photo credit:Fabrice Caterini / Inediz

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.' (Mulikat Okanlawon, @Elysium_NSA 2025)

Mulikat Okanlawon co-founder @Elysium_NSA shared her ask: use this visit as opportunity to think deeply and do things differently to support all people affected by NTDs, who have dreams too. #noma #uniteacteliminate

Looking forward to presenting our documentary in Barcelona next week with Mulikat Okanlawon @Elysium_NSA! Thanks to @ISGLOBALorg and #NitRecerCat for hosting this event.

📢 Join us on 20 September for our symposium on #Noma, a devastating disease mainly affecting children in extreme poverty. Recently recognized as a #NTD by @WHO, we aim to unite experts & stakeholders to set a common research agenda. 🔗Register here: swisstph.ch/de/about/events/…

📢What is #noma & what next now that it is officially classed as a Neglected Tropical Disease? Please join @WHO, @Elysium_NSA, Dr Gebretsadik (@euclidint), Ms Elsig (Sentinelles), @Inediz & @ISNTD_Press! 👉tinyurl.com/SpotlightNoma 👉Apr 18 | 13:00 UTC #NeglectedNoMore

📢Save the date: in Dec 2023, news went round the world that #noma was officially recognised as a Neglected Tropical Disease! Join us and learn: what is noma and what next to tackle this devastating disease? 👉Spotlight on Noma 👉Apr 18 | 13:00-14:30 UTC tinyurl.com/SpotlightNoma

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. unibas.ch/en/News-Events/New…

On #WorldNTDDay we are launching our blog ‘The Politics of Disease Framing’. Read the first post from colleagues @CAHRyork, @UoYLaw, @Inediz, and @UCOMILLAS 👇 blogs.york.ac.uk/politics-of…

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

Following the landmark decision by @WHO to officially recognize #noma as a neglected tropical disease, we share the words of Mulikat Okanlawon and @FidelStrub co-founders of @Elysium the first noma survivors' association, of which we are proud allies #ZeroNoma #beatNTDs

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!

‘We speak for the 90% of the victims who did not make it… We need to invest in social security, healthcare, education.’ @FidelStrub, #noma survivor, speaks about this devastating, disfiguring, and very neglected disease that mostly affects children. #ZeroNoma #WHA76

It’s happening today! Join us and the noma coalition online and in person @genevapressclub to discuss how we can achieve #ZeroNoma and #BeatNTDs with @MSF @ISNTD_Press @Genevaforum @DNDi @fdiworlddental Link: tinyurl.com/NomaWHA76

📢#WHA76 @WHO Side Event! We welcome you warmly to join @MSF @FidelStrub @CAHRYork @Genevaforum @SANTD @ISNTD_Press to address the imperative of neglected communities through the lens of #noma to drive #HealthForAll 👉May 23 8.30 CEST, online & in-person 👉forms.gle/a7AjctsFK6ywuxFN7
