The Mycetoma Research Centre (MRC) in Khartoum has spent decades advancing knowledge of mycetoma, pioneering diagnostics to enable early detection in remote settings, and providing comprehensive care through its clinics and telehealth network. A leading partner in regional and global collaborations driving progress in the fight against mycetoma, MRC provided training for health professionals and scientists.
The conflict in Sudan has had a devastating impact on the work of MRC – the world’s leading hub for the disease – and threatens to erase decades of research, training and care for thousands of patients. The setback extends far beyond Sudan, undermining global progress against mycetoma.
The World Health Organization Eastern Mediterranean Region organizes a webinar where leading experts will spotlight this neglected disease and explain why advancing research, raising awareness, and strengthening prevention efforts are critical to ending the suffering mycetoma causes.
