Noma is preventable and treatable, it shouldn’t exist anymore
More effort is needed to detect early cases and identify survivors
We cannot wait for more research to act

In 2020, Inediz produced a short film to raise awareness on noma on social media. Selected for the inaugural Health for All Film Festival organised by the World Health Organization, this film has since then been featured in dozens of other festivals and events globally. It's available on YouTube, including to be embedded on external websites, with subtitles in 10 languages : Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Korean, Russian and Spanish.
Médecins Sans Frontières and Inediz created a website that explains noma and the support provided in the Sokoto noma hospital. Using photography and videos, the platform aims to change the narrative around this neglected disease and to give a voice to the survivors.
Spread the word! As noma is a neglected disease, it’s essential to raise awareness.
