DNDi and the US CDC have organized a webinar focused on mycetoma, a neglected tropical disease that causes devastating disabilities and death. The webinar will take place during the Fungal Disease Awareness Week (FDAW 2024), and will be held on 18 September 2024, from 17:00-18:15 EAT.
By bringing together leading experts, a patient advocate, and healthcare professionals, we will explore the hidden toll of the disease, highlight the challenges of diagnosis and treatments and discuss the path forward in relation to research advancements and the future of mycetoma control.
