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

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

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. https://t.co/WcBQk8NB16

On #WorldNTDDay we are launching our blog ‘The Politics of Disease Framing’. Read the first post from colleagues @CAHRyork, @UoYLaw, @Inediz, and @UCOMILLAS 👇 https://t.co/eKZQEs4fi0

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.

🤝 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:
