Sudanese doctors on mission to rebuild Mycetoma Research Centre




The war in Sudan has led to the total or partial destruction of clinics and hospitals, but health professionals are determined to rebuild what has been lost. Among them are scientists researching and treating mycetoma, a rare but devastating fungal disease. The Mycetoma Research Centre (MRC) in Khartoum was unique and worked in partnership with several companies and organisations, including the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative. Today, doctors are appealing for help to rebuild the partially destroyed centre. FRANCE 24’s Shirli Sitbon spoke with the MRC’s director, Professor Ahmed Hassan Fahal.
