Noma is fatal in 90% of cases. Survivors often face severe disfigurement, pain, and stigma. It primarily affects poverty-stricken areas of Africa. Awareness and research are essential.

In the wake of threats to funding and aid, research in this thread demonstrates how continued investment can be transformative to local and global funding and commitment can be made for ending NTDs worldwide. #BeatNTDs
